Home Made Chocolate recipe - reteta de ciocolata de casa - Hazicsoki recept

When i was a little girl, my mother used to make home made chocolate pretty often. She used to pour out the chocolate in a backing pan (yeah, we used to make quantities...) and using the leftovers on the sides of the cooking dish, she used to make little chocolate balls, for me only :) i love it... It was only a couple of years ago when i found out, that she intentionally left more chocolate in the cooking dish, so that she could make the little balls for me. I love her very very much!!

SO, here goes the recipe: (but it's mostly by the eye...)

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup of milk powder
1 cup chopped nuts / raisons / shredded coconut - optional.

You will need to butter a pan to transfer the chocolate in. If you have a wire whisk, it will help eliminate the lumps in the cocoa powder and milk powder.

Once the sugar sirup gets thick enough, you have to move quickly: the mixture gets thick very quickly.

Butter makes the chocolate thinner while the milk powder will make it thicker.

When the chocolate is done, you can take little balls of the mixture and roll them in shredded coconut, ground nuts, etc.

Enjoy!

So this makes a truffle mixture rather than a chocolate block then?

It's a shame that only the stuff made with too much milk powder is shown here and not how it should end up.

@kittykat1960 Actually, it's more like what i imagine to be a fudge. It's slightly grainy from the milk powder (note: not lumpy, but grainy) - it's not a smooth texture, if that's what you meant.

I am sorry for the end result :( I will probably make a new batch next week or so, and will post it to show a "good" home made chocolate - maybe different consistencies also.

@smartlioncub Thank you, you are very kind! Indeed it's an easy and quick recipe... Unfortunately the result is quickly gone also! :)) Do try it, and I am sure you will love it!

That looks so yummy! I suppose you could add less milk powder if you like darker chocolate.  Is there any way to make it with real milk instead of powder?

[Schoko84]

@nicolemaryam It indeed is yummy! It will harden over time, depending on how little butter you've put in it. And yes, the more cocoa powder you put, the darker, or the more milk powder, the more towards the "milk chocolate" side... As for the milk question: i think if you tried making it with milk, you'd end up with hot cocoa :) So no, to my knowledge, this recipe can be done only with milk powder.

@Schoko84 I'm thinking maybe if in the first step you used milk instead of water it could work? Though, then you'd have to be really careful not to burn it. I always burn milk when I try to boil it :P
