The Leathes Head Country House Hotel Restaurant in Borrowdale has teamed up with Divine Chocolate to create an edible masterpiece inspired by the scenery of the Lake District.

The new dessert has been launched to celebrate Chocolate Week 2014 (13th – 19th October) and captures the essence of the Lake District.

Dan Hopkins, head chef at the hotel's 1 AA Rosette restaurant, has combined artistic and culinary skill to create a dessert which is a feast for the eyes and the palate. Divine Chocolate provided Dan with two of their new flavours to use, '70% Dark Chocolate with coconut and mango' and '38% Milk Chocolate with whole almonds'.

Chunks of chocolate tart mirror Cumbria's impressive fells, and are made using the 'Dark Chocolate with coconut and mango'. The area's iconic lakes are reflected in a sheet of caramel and Dan has incorporated greenery into the chocolate landscape by coating truffles with pistachio. The chocolate soil is made using the 'Milk Chocolate with whole almonds'.

Jamie Adamson, general manager of The Leathes Head Country House Hotel said; “Chocolate Week is the perfect excuse to work with good new chocolate flavours and of course, Divine Chocolate.  We're really impressed with Dan's chocolate creation, we think it really reflects the natural beauty of our Borrowdale surroundings.”

The Leathes Head Country House Hotel Restaurant is part of a charming 11 bedroom Edwardian country house hotel, situated in the unspoilt Borrowdale Valley just 4 miles south of the town of Keswick. The restaurant is open to the public from 6.30pm to 8pm treating diners to a menu of locally grown and reared produce.

Divine is a chocolate company on a mission… to deliver a sublime experience to chocolate lovers everywhere, while ensuring the cocoa farmers get a bigger share of the wealth they're helping to create. Unlike other Fairtrade companies, Divine Chocolate is 45% owned by the farmers in Ghana who supply its cocoa, giving them the major share of Divine's profits.

 This special Divine Chocolate dessert 'Divine Borrowdale' will be available at The Leathes Head exclusively until end of October 2014.
