plant-based, vegan & dairy-free production
CRAZY ISN’T IT?
HOW FAST THE WORLD IS CHANGING?
With our health, the climate and the planet at the heart of conversations around the
world, many of us re-think how we can live, eat, produce and consume better. In our
profession too.
But where to begin? Creating vegan patisserie and confectionery is almost like starting
over: we need to replace ingredients we’ve been using for generations, like eggs, dairy,
butter, milk and cream. To quote our colleague chef Phil Khoury: ‘When you create vegan
patisserie, you’re pretty much on your own. There is no guide on how to do it.’.
With our NEXT dairy-free chocolates and these two guides, you now have a complete
solution. Without making any compromise on great taste and indulgence. We hope you’ll
enjoy making and exploring vegan and dairy-free as much as we did. It is the tastiest way
towards a better future.

“Making vegan pastries requires know-how
that is new to many chefs. At first, that can feel
overwhelming. But you just have to try and
push through.
Once you get the principles, it’s actually very
rewarding. Especially when the compliments
of your customers start coming in.”

WHY
NXT
Chocolate is the ingredient that brings joy, pleasure and indulgence across
all generations – across all nations. Depending from country to country,
milk chocolate is preferred by approximately 40-50% of the population
because of its creamy indulgence. But more and more consumers refrain
from consuming dairy.
NXT dairy-free chocolates are here to respond to all those needs: with

indulgence that makes no compromise. And with the guarantee of 100%
plant-based ingredients and no detectable traces of dairy.

“Many vegan menus reduced the choice to a fruit
salad or an avocado-based mousse. But those
days are over. Our customers expect the gold
standard. Vegan desserts should be as delicious as
traditional ones. And they will become the norm.”
