Producing heat-stable, bloom-resistant chocolate is a significant challenge faced by the food industry. This study prepared oleogels using palm oil as a base oil and monoglyceride stearate as an oleogelator, which were introduced into partially substituted cocoa butter (CB) (30% w/w) to manufacture heat-stable, bloom-resistant chocolate. In addition, various healthy sweeteners (maltitol (M), tagatose (T), and palm sap sugar (PS)) were used (corresponding chocolate noted as Choc M100, Choc T5 & T10, and Choc PS25 & PS50, respectively) at different substitution ratios to sucrose. The melting properties and fat blooming behavior were characterized to optimize the suitable recipe for the chocolate. According to the results, Choc PS50 exhibited the required crystal form (β-form), improved the shape retention index (SRI), displayed a higher melting enthalpy (ΔHm) and ideal fat bloom-resistance, while showing fewer superficial crystals during temperature cycling (16 h at 20 °C and 8 h at 32 °C for 40 d). Nevertheless, the formulated chocolates exhibited significantly lower hardness due to the reduced CB content. This study provided an approach to manufacturing heat-stable, bloom-resistant chocolate.
