How Do You Prepare Chocolate In The Home?

Making chocolate at home is an activity that may require patience and time, but in the end it can be well worth the effort.  Homemade chocolate is usually made with natural ingredients and not with the artificial products that characterize most brandname sweets sold in stores.

The key ingredients necessary when making chocolate are cocoa (six tablespoons), icing sugar (125-130 grams), powdered milk (four tablespoons), Copha, or coconut oil (125 grams) and just a pinch of salt. Pour all the ingredients, except for the Copha,  into a bowl or a basin and begin to mix them together. At the same time, heat up the Copha on the stove, melting the product, and then add it to the bowl. Mix everything together, pour the chocolate onto a baking pan and allow it to sit until it becomes solid. After this, you can cut the chocolate into cubes, or squares.

Some people also add vanilla to the chocolate mix, as well as nuts for a little extra flavour.

You can prepaire it like that:

Mix half cup of cocao powder with 3 tea spoons of icing sugar, add butter to your mixture so you get a consistancy you want. Heat the mixture in a saucepan, stir it for 2 minutes on a low heat, then add cinamon or vanila extract. Leave it in the refrigerator for a while.

Or you can just make a lower callorie version:

Mix sugar and cocao powder in a bowl, add 3 spoons of boiling water, stir it well, then add some sour cream or milk powder and coconut oil, mix it all. Now you can eat that fluid mixture or you can add a thickening agent or just freeze it and eat it like ice-cream.

You can't prepaire real chocolate bars without cocao butter, but you can have similar chocolate with thickening agents, like: Starch, guar gum; emilsifiers: Honey, mucilage; stabilisers:agar, pectin; preservatives: Calcium propionate, sodium nitrate;etc...

Experiment with various ingredients.
