how do i make choclate at home with cocoa powderand milk powder??

Answer 1

Not with cocoa powder and milk powder but there you go.


Chocolate can be made at home - sort of. The sweet, smooth chocolate we are used to is very difficult to make and generally takes large amounts of machinery.

However, if you can find raw cocoa (cacao) beans - hint: they are available on line at www.stoneandgiacomotto.com - you can make a rough chocolate to taste.

First, you have to roast the beans (about 400 degrees for about 1/2 hour). Then you have to remove the husks which is a tedious process, but should be easy to do once the roasted beans have cooled.

Then using a mortar and pestle, break the cocoa beans into bits. Take the bits and grind them in a spice grinder (it makes a mess so be prepared to clean). Once they are finely gound they will begin to liquefy. Don't grind them too much or you will have problems cleaning your grinder.

At this point, it's up to you how long you want to grind by hand. The longer you grind, the smoother it will get. Using a mortar and pestle, grind the beans more by hand. Then heat the mixture in a pan for a few minutes. Then repeat the grinding process in the mortar.

At this point, the goop should be pretty smooth. Now you add spices - sugar (about 1/4 cup per pound of beans) and vanilla (real bean seeds do best, but extract is okay). Then add some cinnamon, tarragoon, chili powder or something other exotic spice that you might never think of in chocolate. You really can get a nice taste with some things you wouldn't think of.

Store the mess in a container and let it set (refrigeration helps). It will be a different experience, but it will bring you closer to the real thing than you get from Hershey's.

Answer 2

Make the milk powder into milk as per package directions then

add Choclate syrup (recipe below)
1 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 dash salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Stir together.
Boil 2-5 minutes, stirring rapidly, until sauce begins to thicken.
This must be stored in the fridge.


Or for hot cocoa:

"PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" Hot Cocoa
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons HERSHEY'S Cocoa
Dash salt
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in large mug. Heat milk in microwave at HIGH (100%) 1-1/2 minutes or until hot. Gradually add hot milk to cocoa mixture in mug, stirring until well blended. Stir in vanilla. 1 serving.



Enjoy!

Answer 3

You'll need more ingredients. You can reconstitute the milk powder to a cream consistency. Heat it in a double boiler, being careful not to scald it, add cocoa powder and sugar to taste. This will make a rich drink but most chocolate, as in candy, is made with butter, cocoa, sugar, cream and paraffin wax. Melt butter in double boiler, while hot mix in cocoa and sugar, whisk until smooth, add cream as desired. Paraffin is added to help set and raise melting temp. Amounts of each are up to you. Who knows, you might be the next Hershey! You could consult a candy making site for some ideas for a start. Good luck.

The site below gives a detailed account of how to make it, but I dont think it includes cocoa powder and milk powder!

Answer 5

Not recommended, as chocolate burns easily and the cooking part involves low even heat for an extended period of time. Don't waste your cocoa.
