We recently made dark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and a few of our own creations that we named butterscotch chocolate, raspberry chocolate and blueberry chocolate.
To do this at home you need to buy two main ingredients.
cocoa powder
cocoa butter
You can buy each of these from Amazon pretty easily.
We bought this cocoa butter :
We bought these two powders : and .
In terms of cooking equipment, you need:
A double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler, you can just use a big pot and put a wok on top of it — which is what we did. You could put other cooking pans on top of any pot provided you have a pretty good seal and not a lot of steam escapes. The basic point is that you want to be boiling water in the main pot and you want the steam from that to heat the pan in which you'll be making the chocolates.
Some molds that you can pour your chocolate into. I bought these molds from Amazon and can recommend them : and
The steps are to:
Add the cocoa butter to the double boiler or alternative setup.
Wait until the cocoa butter melts.
Add the cocoa powder and stir to mix. For our first batch we used a half cup of cocoa butter and a half cup of cocoa powder in a 1:1 ratio. You can play with this ratio and see what tastes best to you.
Add any other additives you want (like sugar, spices, salt, milk powder, etc.) After stirring to mix, you can take out a small spoonful of the mixture, let it cool a bit, and taste it and continually add things until you get the taste just right.
Pour the chocolate into a mold.
Optional : Add a small piece of fruit or candy and put it into the middle of the mold. For example, you could put a blueberry inside the chocolate, so that when people bite into the chocolate, they'd arrive at a blueberry and get blueberry juice bursting into their mouth, delivering a textural contrast to the taste of chocolate.
Let it sit for an hour or so.
Refrigerate for another hour or more.
Remove from the refrigerator and eat.
Once you get the hang of this, you can produce chocolate that suits your taste with a few minutes of work and some patience, waiting for it to cool and harden.
