The Original Chocolate
hello and welcome to todd's kitchen. i have made compound chocolate i have made white chocolate and i have made dark chocolate but theres only one left and everyone keeps asking me for so here itis. so join me today as i make my version of milk chocolate to start of i have a pot on the stove, now its on a high simmer and on top of the pot place a clean and dry bowl make sure its dryotherwiseit's gonna ruin the chocolate. so we are going to start of with our main ingredient and thats our
cocoa butter. don't get this confused with normal butter as they are nothing alike now you should be able to find this in good health food stores but if not just google it and im sure you will find it around. so into our bowl place in our cocoa butter i will leave a list of ingredients down below and how much you need to use. and using a metal spoon just so theres no moisture just turn these just stir then until it completely melted. and also as a hint just make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water
other wise you can burn the chocolate. now that the cocoa butter is melted we are going to add in our cocoa powder. just regular cocoa powder and we are going to stir that through until its completely dissolved. once that has been dissolved we a going to add a very small pinch of salt and what the salt does it just helps to enhance the chocolate flavour next we are going to add in our milk powder. now you might be asking can we just use regular liquid milk unfortunately you have to use thepowdered milk and honestly that is how chocolate
is actually made so stir that through again. so once that has been stirred through finally we are going to add in our icing sugar now if you don't have icing sugar check out my how to playlist where i show you how to make it and finally we are going to stir that through. now with all the ingredients before you pour it into the mould just give it a quick taste just so its to your liking if not you can add more cocoa or more icing sugar or what ever you like just to its to your liking.
so as you can see this is looking lovely now it's just about completely dissolve. so what we are going to do now it take this of the heat we are going to let it cool down for five minutes and we are going to place it into our mould. now that our milk chocolate has cooled down we are going to use a mould now i use this same one for the dark chocolate as you would remember so we are going to use that. you can find these at allot of craft shops or party shops so with our cooled down chocolate we are going to pour it into the mould and doesn't that look lovely. so what we are going to do is
place this into the fridge and let it set for about two hours so i have taken it out of the fridge and as you can see i filled up the other two moulds because i had extra left over lets just take one out and there we have it, now look at that lovely lovely milk chocolate. so this is incredibly easy to make and the best part is it's homemade so lets give one a try oh yummy. nothing, nothing
beats a good piece of chocolate. but i'll to you what this tastes exactly like and you know why? because it is. and you can also experiment with the taste if want to add more cocoa powder or even more cocoa butter. you really can change it to your liking. but no matter how you change thishomemade milk chocolate tastes simply delish so give it a go and don't forget to put up aphoto on my facebook page so that you can show it of to everyone elsebecause i know it will be fantastic thank you for watching this episode of todd's kitchen. as always the ingredients are listed down below as well as links to my facebook, twitter and home handy hints channel
