Homemade chocolate

Distribuie

Did you make it at home when you were little? I know for some people it’s the dessert of childhood, often made at home. It reminds me of my childhood too, but we always bought it from the store. 😅

I don't know why I waited so long to make it. I think the powdered milk in the recipe scared me because I wasn’t sure where to find it. 😆 For some reason, I thought it was only available at the pharmacy. But guess what? I walked into the first store I found (a small one, not very big), and I actually found it! It was in the section with essences, baking powder, cocoa, and all that good stuff.

If you prefer the video version of the recipe, you can find it here.

INGREDIENTS:

• 250g powdered milk;
• 50g cocoa;
• 100g butter 82%;
• 120g sugar;
• 120g water;
• 60g hazelnuts;
• a pinch of salt;
• 1 teaspoon essence of your choice (I used orange and I really liked the flavor).

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

1. I roasted the hazelnuts and chopped them into larger pieces.
2. In a bowl, I sifted the powdered milk and cocoa. I added a pinch of salt, the chopped hazelnuts and mixed.
3. I placed a high-sided pan on medium to low heat. I put the sugar and water in it. I mixed and let the sugar melt. When bubbles started to form on top of the composition (it started to boil), I looked at the clock and left it on medium to low heat for 4 more minutes.
4. I then turned the heat to low, added the butter and essence and mixed vigorously until I obtained a homogeneous consistency.
5. I transferred the liquid composition over the dry one and mixed.
6. I put everything in a tray lined with cling film, leveled it and left the tray on the balcony (in the cold) for a few hours.
7. I took the chocolate out of the tray, removed the cling film and cut it into 16 pieces with a wet knife.

Good appetite!
