Homemade Cocoa-and-Milk Chocolate
It turns out you can make real chocolate at home! Let me show you how—it's not difficult at all, yet hardly anyone uses this recipe. And what a shame, because it comes out genuinely delicious and takes very little time. See for yourself.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Mix the cocoa with the sugar. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the cocoa a bit at a time along with the sugar, stirring constantly.
-
Step 2:
Pour in the milk a little at a time too, adjusting the consistency of the chocolate as you go.
-
Step 3:
You can taste as you cook. If it's too cocoa-heavy for your liking, add more milk. Stirring constantly, bring it to a boil, then take it off the heat. Pour the liquid mixture into ice-cube trays or cupcake molds. Refrigerate for a few hours. Once the chocolate sets, you'll have lovely little chocolates to enjoy with tea!
- And maybe you'll start making your own natural chocolate from now on—free of the preservatives and artificial colors found in store-bought kinds. Taste the difference!
