KALDI: "Watermelon Chocolate Pie," a very popular snack in Korea
KALDI Coffee Farm has released "Watermelon Chocolate Pie," a very popular snack in Korea, priced at 213 yen (tax included) for a box of 4 pieces.
Very popular in Korea! Watermelon Chocolate Pie
The combination of "watermelon and chocolate" is a rare one, isn't it? The editorial department has been curious about this combination for some time, having seen it on Twitter and elsewhere. So we immediately went to the store to get some! How does it taste?
Contains concentrated watermelon extract
Watermelon chocolate pie is a chocolate pie made with "concentrated extract" of watermelon. The red (pink) watermelon-flavored filling is sandwiched between green dough and coated with chocolate. The coloring is reminiscent of watermelon.
Surface coated with chocolate
Cross-section is watermelon-colored
Watermelon flavor is fruity sweet
The moment you bite into it, the fresh aroma of watermelon fills the air! What also surprised me was the texture of the watermelon filling. This is not cream...! It was a soft and chewy marshmallow! The green dough is moist.
Filling has a firm and stretchy texture
The watermelon is not as strong as I had expected, but the fruity sweetness spreads somehow, and the bitterness of the chocolate that slowly melts in afterward tightens the taste. Chocolate and watermelon go surprisingly well together. It has the feel of an easy-to-eat candy, and for some reason I felt a little nostalgic even though I had never tasted it before.
As a watermelon lover, I would have preferred a stronger watermelon flavor, but maybe this one is easier to eat. They look pretty, too, and you might want to give them a try just to see what kind of candy is popular in Korea!
