The invention relates to method for preparing a chocolate composition comprising at least 10% cocoa butter, said method comprising the steps of: (a) Preparing a chocolate mixture comprising at least 10% cocoa butter by admixing a chocolate mass with a blend of an oil and/or fat having a Solid Fat Content higher than 2% when measured at 30° C. with IUPAC method 2.150 a, and having a Trans Fatty Acid Content below 4%, preferably below 2%, (b) Feeding this mixture in molten state to a scraped surface heat exchanger, wherein the temperature of the scraped surface is below +10° C., advantageously is below 0° C., (c) Crystallization and stabilization of said melt with the aid of said scraped surface heat exchanger, (d) Optionally, extrusion of the thus chilled mixture in block shape. This method advantageously allows the preparation of trans-free chocolate fillings, advantageously without the need of specialty products. The invention further relates to the prepared chocolate fillings and their applications in the chocolate industry.
