In this video Barry shows you how to make homemade dark chocolate. It’s very simple recipe in that there is no need for cocoa beans or any fancy grinding – we simply use cocoa powder. Whilst there are a number of ways to make homemade chocolate this is the easiest, and it results in deep rich chocolate that has a soft velvet texture and is very addictive and you can even give it a slight coconut twang if you use the coconut oil! In this video 3 bars are made – normal chocolate, chilli chocolate and nuts.
I have made chocolate before using a sugar syrup which is a little harder but gives a harder and more customisable milk chocolate which I will make soon, but this is a good chocolate base to go with the white chocolate made previously.
Please note if you go for the coconut oil option, it will obviously have a slight coconut taste to it – most people go for the shortening. Keep refrigerated.
