Lune x Koko Black World Chocolate Day Collab

Overview

If you thought it was impossible to improve on a Lune croissant, you may be wrong. This July, you'll be able to try one of its award-winning croissants stuffed with Koko Black chocolate, pistachios and marzipan.

This special edition dessert, which will be baked in honour of World Chocolate Day for the second time, is a collaboration between luxury chocolatier Koko Black and Melbourne croissant queen, and founder of Lune Croissanterie, Kate Reid. This will be the second run for the croissant — last year it sold out in just half an hour.

Available for three days only, the twice-baked croissant is stuffed with Koko Black pistachio marzipan, pistachio and toasted cacao nib frangipane, and a dark chocolate ganache. It's then sprinkled with chopped pistachios and shards of tempered dark chocolate.

To get your hands on this show-stopping dessert, head to one of four Koko Black Melbourne store (not Lune) — Collins Street, Royal Arcade, Doncaster or Chadstone — between July 5–7. It's priced at $13 and you'd best hurry if you want to nab one — they probably won't last much longer than an hour.

CORRECTION: June 28, 2019 — This article previously stated that the limited-edition croissants were available at all Melbourne Koko Black stores, but they're only available at four: Collins Street, Royal Arcade, Doncaster and Chadstone. The piece has been updated to reflect this.
