The Viral Olympic Chocolate Muffin Is As Good As They Say

Most of the time, when a recipe goes viral, it’s easy to find online.

These aren’t the Olympic chocolate muffins that are taking the internet by storm, thanks to Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen, who declared his love for the treat on TikTok.

A video Christiansen posted in late July of the muffins served at the Olympic Village in Paris has been viewed more than 20 million times. Bakers around the world immediately began creating their own versions of the Maxi Muffin Chocolat Intense, a chocolate muffin studded with chocolate chips and filled with more chocolate.

The muffins are supplied to Olympic athletes by French catering company Coup de Pâtes (and according to social media, they are apparently being enjoyed in university dining halls across Europe).

A variety of chocolate is needed for the viral Olympic Chocolate Muffins recipe.

I wanted to join in the fun, and even though Coup de Pâtes hinted on Instagram that the recipe wouldn’t be shared, I crossed my fingers and asked anyway. The company recommended Sodexo Live!, a food and beverage production and event company providing catering services during the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
