Homemade Chocolate has a delicious melt in the mouth taste and texture. Homemade Chocolate can made in under 10 mins with just 4 available ingredients in your pantry. Let us learn How to make Chocolate using step by step pictures and video.
This Homemade Chocolate Recipe is one of the failproof recipes that I use often to make chocolate at home. It requires just 4 ingredients which includes butter, milk powder, powdered sugar and cocoa powder. As valentines day is around the corner thought to post this.
Traditionally store bought chocolates are made using cocoa butter which is not at our reach. The next alternate is using coconut oil. I have tried making chocolate using coconut oil too but the flavor was too strong so sticking with this butter version itself.
Ingredients
- Butter – Use good quality butter that is flavourful. I used homemade butter.
- Milk powder – Make sure to use fine milk powder else pulse it couple of times and then use it.
- Powdered sugar – You can pulse normal crystal sugar, sieve it and use it.
- Cocoa powder – Use fine good quality cocoa powder. I always use hersheys.
I have used silicon mold which I bought few years back from Nilgiris. You can easily buy silicon chocolate molds from amazon.
Double boiling method
Take a sauce pan add water let it boil. Then place a mixing bowl over it make sure its dry and the base should not touch water. This is called double boiling method.
Variations
- You can add chopped nuts like almonds, cashews, pista or any other favourite nuts of your choice.
- If you like dry fruits add tutti frutti or chopped dates etc.
- You can replace butter with coconut oil too.
Storage
Homemade chocolate tends to melt easily so store in fridge until serving time. It keeps well atleast for a week in fridge.
