Chocolate cake
Chocolate is a sweet, dark-colored substance derived from the cocoa bean (which is actually a seed). Counselor Deanna Troi was particularly known for her love of the product, calling it "a serious thing" and saying, "I never met a chocolate I didn't like". (TNG: "The Game") Troi also preferred "real chocolate", not one of the "perfectly synthesized, ingeniously enhanced imitations" produced by replicators. (TNG: "The Price")
According to Geordi La Forge, there was a chocolate on Risa that counselor Troi surely would have liked. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
In 2368, Counselor Troi enjoyed a chocolate sundae with chocolate ice cream, chocolate chips and chocolate fudge. She had a special ritual eating the dessert. (TNG: "The Game")
It is a primary ingredient in a variety of desserts, including:
- Chocolate cake - In an alternate timeline, this Earth dessert was served at Worf's surprise birthday party.
- Chocolate sundae - ordered by Deanna Troi in early 2366
- Delavian chocolates - a rare confection both Elim Garak and Julian Bashir enjoyed
- Hot chocolate - an Earth beverage, served warm
- Ktarian chocolate puff - a dessert made of seventeen kinds of chocolate
- Chocolate ice cream - an Earth dessert
- Rigelian chocolates - Kira Nerys's favorite confection
- Thalian chocolate mousse - a delicacy, aged for 400 years
