Home made Chocolate recipe
1 Cup of Cocoa Powder
1 Cup of Confectioners sugar
1 Cup of dry milk
1 pinch of salt
1 Cup of melted vegetable shortening, or coconut oil.
Optional 1 tsp of mint, orange, raspberry or hazelnut flavor extract.
Add dry ingredients together in a bowl than use a sieve to mix all dry ingredients together by shaking into another bowl. If not mixed through sieve, the chocolate will have a grainy feel to it. Slowly mix in either melted vegetable shortening or coconut oil until the chocolate is liquid in consistency. Add extract(optionally) to add specific flavor to chocolate. Use parchment cooking paper to line a flat cooking sheet pan, than add liquid chocolate to the pan. Place pan in refrigerator for 24 hours and a solid thin chocolate will form on the pan. Use the paper to break the chocolate into pieces. The chocolate recipe works with plastic candy molds too. I am not sure how the chocolate forms with metal molds.
Note: The chocolate melts quickly, if left out of the refrigerator for longer than 30 minutes.
Here is the photos of the chocolate I made last month. I got this recipe from a youtube chef and modified recipe slightly with the flavor extract addition.
