HOME MADE CHOCOLATE

May 4, 2007 · 26 Comments

I was really confused what to name this recipe. We just call it chocolate. This is my family’s favorite.

I generally don’t buy much of chocolate from the market . The only ones affordable are the Indian brands . Imported ones are costly.So making at home is the best option for me, keeps my family happy too.

Most of you have access to the best chocolate available abroad .But try making this recipe I am sure you will like it . But ple..ee..ase don’t end up calling it chocolate burfi ple.ease . :) )))))))))))

This recipe was given to me by my friend Gi. By the way I made the chocolate yesterday and today only 1/4 is left…..

In fact this time the chocolates are looking much better than ever before. Probably the chocolates also knew they had to look their best after all the whole world was going to view them on the net .. hee……. hee …eee :)

INGREDIENTS:-

Sugar-300gms

1/2 cup water for syrup

150 gms Milk powder ( I used Everyday Dairy Whitener)

90 gms butter
40 gms cocoa

METHOD:-Sieve cocoa and milk powder in bowl .


| View Show | Create Your Own

Make a sugar syrup of 2 strings consistency. As the sugar starts boiling put a drop of syrup on a plate. If the drop spreads it is still not done.The moment it retains a shape of a drop (a soft ball) it is ready.


Remove the vessel from fire ,add the milk powder mixture and butter in the syrup and beat well with a spoon, The mixture should turn glossy. Pour this chocolate on greased plate. Let it cool, and cut to pieces.

    Vow a homemade presentation for the chocolate, Wonderful going. U r picking up computers real fast.
    The chocolate looks really tempting. Do they need to be refrigerated.

    the texture of the chocolate has come out so well. and its so simple. we can even decide how much sugar we want right?
    nice recipe Archana!

    It is a simple recipe Sharmi. It does not involve much time. You can use slightly less sugar but not too less.Try it :)

    Hi Archana, don’t worry, chocolate burfis as I know them are quite, quite different. Nice to be able to make your own chocolate – and it sounds simple too, without the bother of moulds and all that. Just saw your salad bar post too, here, all the restaurants I know are doing away with the salad bar, and I’m the kind who genuinely enjoys salad. Bummer!

    Thanks Sra to acknowledge my chocolates :) They taste gr8.
    Even I like salads, Luckily there is a restaurant which serves these salads but at a whopping price. It is a treat to see their containers brimming with colourful vegees/ pastas etc .Your dish with paneer and pasta is also nice :)

    Meant to tell you I liked your blog header! Your earlier pink one was attractive too!

    Thanks for appreciating . It is the template which gives choices for colour.Pink one was a rose .
    Not my creation :)

    Hi … found your recipe and tried it out today but somehow it turned out like fudge and treacle like, a bit like toffee and sticks to my fingers. How did your get yours to break like that?
