With Easter 2023 on the horizon, Le Royal Palm’s renowned pastry chef Stephan Baptiste has crafted a gourmet chocolate masterpiece that pays tribute to the beauty of nature and the essential role of bees in our environment. This one-of-a-kind dessert, designed to deceive the eye, takes the form of a beehive and serves as a testament to the hotel group’s environmental initiatives, particularly their efforts to protect and preserve the local bee population.
Nestled within the lush grounds of the Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury, a thriving colony of bees has found sanctuary, thanks to the hotel group’s dedication to eco-conservation. These industrious insects work tirelessly to produce a delicate honey that graces the palates of the hotel’s privileged guests.
Drawing inspiration from this sweet partnership, Stephan Baptiste has fashioned a chocolate marvel that is not only a visual delight but also a true celebration of flavors. At the heart of this beehive-shaped chocolate confection is a rich, 72% Menakao dark chocolate from Madagascar, which tantalizes the taste buds with its bold cocoa notes and hints of red fruit. This exquisite chocolate base is elevated by a tangy aftertaste that leaves one longing for more.

The trompe-l’œil effect is further enhanced by a delicate shell of Ivoire white chocolate, infused with the enticing aroma of Mauritian vanilla. This luscious outer layer seamlessly melds with the dark chocolate core, creating the illusion of a genuine beehive.
The pièce de résistance of this edible work of art is a regal queen bee, crafted from chocolate and perched gracefully atop her pedestal. The intricate details of her design showcase Stephan Baptiste’s artistic prowess, while serving as a reminder of the crucial role bees play in maintaining ecological balance.
The true magic of this Easter treat, however, lies in the harmonious union of flavors. The honey produced by the resident bees at the Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury is masterfully integrated into the dessert, resulting in a delectable marriage of tastes that is nothing short of divine.
As guests indulge in this delightful chocolate beehive, they are not only savoring a sensational culinary experience, but also partaking in a celebration of nature and the hotel group’s commitment to environmental preservation. This Easter, Stephan Baptiste’s ingenious dessert stands as a testament to the symbiosis between mankind and nature, and serves as a sweet reminder of the importance of protecting our planet’s precious resources.
