I hate when youtubers go tehee I’m having chocolate cravings lets make homemade chocolate because they are like here are these fancy cacao beans I have imported I am now fermenting them and going through the process of drying/processing when if you have a chocolate craving at home with no chocolate all you gotta do it’s mix butter, sugar, and coco powder together, I know damn well most of yall are like me and not in the tex bracket to be importing freaking cocoa beans lmao
How Dezi makes chocolate at home to combat chocolate cravings
1 whole stick of butter (this is your base)
Powdered sugar or normal sugar. Powdered sugar will give a smoother consistency and you can use less.
You if you just mix those two ingredients above and add a bit of vanilla congrats you have just made vanilla buttercream icing lol
Now adding the coco powder really thickens it up and like the sugar you can play with how much you want to add. Adding a lot will give a more dark chocolate flavor
Now notice beyond the butter I gave no measurements lol that’s because I just eyeball it 🤣 because the ingredients even if you mess it up will still taste good and enjoyable
If you want it to firm up and possibly put it into a candy mold I suggest adding a bit of coconut oil and sticking it in the fridge for as long as you can stand.
Things to keep in mind-
You gotta mix mix mix, I just use a fork or spoon but make sure you mix everything together, mixing less or more will change the consistency so pay attention to what your looking for. It you want something less fluffy mix less if more fluffy mix more.
It won’t taste like hersheys they actually add an acid to the chocolate that gives it that sour milk flavor, but it’s still tasty chocolate.
It will easily melt so you should keep it in the fridge when you arent eating it
Have fun, the ingredients to make it are easy to find and can be quite cheap, using cheap butter isn’t going to ruin it.
If you want to make something you can add to a drink or pour over ice cream (not put into molds) instead of butter you can use a can of sweetened condensed milk instead
Hope you enjoyed this crash course into curing your chocolate cravings in the middle of the night
Some people seemed dubious that this will make chocolate. Here are my ugly strawberry shaped chocolates. I never used this mold for anything before so I wasn’t sure how they would turn out but they are tasty. I could have mixed it longer but I was impatient.
Like these are chocolates, they are solid, and they melt when exposed to heat. They taste like chocolate, look like chocolate, it’s chocolate 🍫
