Create a truly delicious treat easily with chocolate paste recipes. Choose variations based on sour cream, milk, butter, coconut or peanut butter. Make amazing creams, wonderful cakes and pastries. Add walnuts, hazelnuts, vanilla and other ingredients.
If cocoa powder is used in the recipe, you should choose it responsibly, because its quality can affect the taste of the whole dish. Instant cocoa powder is inferior in its characteristics to natural cocoa powder, which has to be cooked. The fat content of the powder should be at least 15% — oily traces stay on your fingers after touching it. It should be uniform in color and texture.

Useful tips:
• The paste can make a great cream for cakes. You can also pour it over fruit (strawberries, bananas, etc.) or spread it on white bread.
• The more milk you add, the less thick the paste will turn out.
• To add aroma and extra flavor to the paste while cooking, you can add vanilla or cinnamon. Once cooking is done — raisins, prunes and other dried fruits.
• Walnuts are easy to replace with cashews and hazelnuts.
