Ardent Mills® Cocoa Replace
Future-proof your supply chain with our reliable, cost-effective cocoa alternative
The pressure to stabilize costs and ensure ingredient availability—while keeping up with the demand for cocoa products, is increasing now more than ever. That’s why Ardent Mills created our patent-pending Cocoa Replace, your single-ingredient solution, designed for wheat-based goods—streamlining reformulation and minimizing label changes for manufacturers.
Cost Savings and Stable US Supply
Made from a U.S.-sourced wheat, Cocoa Replace, a single ingredient, delivers a significant cost savings and can replace up to 25% of cocoa powder in standard formulations. With a rich legacy in wheat flour milling and baking, Ardent Mills will bring unmatched expertise to deliver consistent, premium quality ingredients. Trust the industry leader that knows baking best.
Taste and Color that Deliver
Beyond critical cost savings and availability, Cocoa Replace and Dark Cocoa Replace were created specifically to maintain quality and performance in baked goods and snacks such as cakes, muffins, brownies, cookies and even pumpernickel breads.
Dark Cocoa Replace, our newest extension in our cocoa replacers solutions, was developed based on your needs - customers who asked for a dark cocoa solution for products where deep cocoa color is required. We heard you and brought Dark Cocoa Replace to market.
Recognizing the complexity of cocoa flavor and the challenges to replicating it in a replacement product, Ardent Mills has validated our cocoa extenders through comprehensive sensory trials with both trained panels and consumers. Results from both sensory screening trials by highly trained sensory experts and from consumers demonstrated that both Cocoa Replace and Dark Cocoa Replace closely match cocoa powders in sensory experience and acceptability, making them viable alternatives to cocoa in baking applications.*
