How to Make Milk Chocolate with Cocoa Powder | Easy Homemade Milk Chocolate Recipe | 4 Ingredients

[@ShyamSundarY]

Pro Tip: Once you have poured in the liquid chocolate into the molds, look left, look right, look behind, and when you see no one's there, dip your finger into the bowl, run the finger around to collect as much leftover as possible, and enjoy heaven ha ha :)

I wanted to share with you something that I discovered while watching you make your chocolate. You spoke about the texture of the chocolate because of the powdered milk, and not being able to stir it in the machine for three or four days. Well what I did was put my dehydrated milk in a coffee grinder and ground down to a very fine espresso powder. And there's about a 10th of a percent reduction in volume, maybe just a bit more. So what I did I added it just like you instructed and I put mine in a KitchenAid mixer with a scraping blade and let it run for a couple hours. What a difference it made almost completely smooth. Thanks for your video can't wait to see the one on tempering.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Nice!! And a very good option to do if you don't have a chocolate melanger to do the conching.

[@j.s.korenic007]

I think this is the first home made chocolate video I've seen that's honest. Thank you for your honesty about the texture and little bit of grainy texture. Watching other videos I thought I was doing something wrong but now I know that the homemade stuff will be a little grainy and not 100% smooth like store bought. Thank you again for your honest video! 🤗

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are very welcome!! :) :) Glad you found the video and watched it.

[@consciouslypure2176]

Why does it turn grainy though? Is there a way to avoid this when making at home?

[@PatriciaResino]

Because at home we do not have the machine to run the chocolate for a long time as brands do ☺️

[@deanablythe9394]

@@consciouslypure2176 I have seen some makers put the finished chocolate into a blender and blend it for about 3 to 5 minutes and this can make it smoother, not yet tried it myself, but it does look smoother on the videos. Chocolate made by manufacturers is made with cacao nibs and is in the machine for days not hours.

[@sarahswarthout210]

I tried it again and it was awesome I grinded the powdered sugar a little longer and I put a pinch of salt and some rice puffs and less sugar I love it

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!!

[@stephenmiller8556]

Take your powdered milk into a coffee grinder and grind that the espresso level. It makes the chocolate much smoother. I put mine in the kitchen aid mixer, or the scraping by and let it run for a couple of hours. What a difference.

[@IamwhoIam333]

I have a powdered coconut milk/creamer and I just used a tablespoon of it and it was pretty awesome tasting. I'm glad I tried it. A dark chocolate and milk chocolate candy bars are $2.29 at the 6-11. Also Coco producers lost 1/3 of their crop in the year 2020 so expect the price of cocoa powder to go way up .

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!! Yeah, a lot of prices are going up, unfortunately.

[@okeefenokeetheseventeenth2200]

I actually grow a number of Theobroma cacao trees, and harvest the pods 3x a year. Also pressing my own cocoa butter, and roasting other cocoa seeds to make my own cocoa powder. I even grow my own vanilla orchids. But I still have to purchase milk powder and icing sugar....

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

That is awesome!!! It might be worth it to get an actual chocolate machine. For that, you would use regular white sugar and not powdered sugar. Also since you have your own pods you wouldn't use cocoa powder there is a different process which is how real chocolate is made. Real chocolate isn't made with cocoa powder. But this is a good "homemade" way to make it.

[@rhondasibley]

Did you know you can dehydrate milk into powder.

[@okeefenokeetheseventeenth2200]

[@Jaybroney]

I would like to commend you on your honesty and transparency about how the chocolate in this recipe would come out compared to store-bought chocolate. let us something that has been lacking in a large number of KZbin videos I have looked at on this very same topic. You, and one other KZbinr that I know of for sure early the only ones that made this disclaimer explicitly, and because of that I don’t think that I would actually attempt to make this type of chocolate at my house. I suppose it might be fun as an experiment, but I think the ingredients I have would be better served for making something else. So thank you for saving me from the disappointment. I’m happy to report however, I did make your three ingredient fudge yesterday, and three of us got to taste it so far and it was quite yummy. it was the chocolate fudge, and I actually added vanilla extract and almonds to my batch. Keep up the good work and will be looking at more of your videos in the future, have a nice day.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are very welcome, Jason!! Yeah unfortunately, you just can't make really good homemade chocolate without using special chocolate making equipment, and even then real chocolate isn't even made from cocoa powder, they use the cocoa nibs which cocoa powder comes from. But it is a fun experiment. And like you mentioned so many other things you can make with those ingredients. Glad you made the fudge and liked it!

When doing sugar free versions, keep in mind that not only is monk fruit hydrophobic, it doesn't dissolve in oil either, so it will maintain a granulated texture until chilled. You won't notice it after solidified.

[@thecomment9489]

Looks easy recipe to make. One question: as you said it will not be as velvety like market bought chocolate bar. So to make it as much velvety as possible can the mixture be whipped for sometime using an electric whipper?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No that won't help much whipping is not the same as grinding. That is how chocolate gets smooth it is in this machine with stone wheels and turn and grind the little particles smaller and smaller over a day or two or three of time. Whipping will just move them around and won't really get them smaller. And with a high powered blender you can only get the individual ingredients so small at some point they just don't get any smaller.

[@minniethegeek1500]

Would adding a few drops of orange oil work?? Love flavoured chocolate! 🍫 ❤

You could try it, but normally you don't want to use a liquid extract because of the water in it, it can ruin the chocolate. A dry powdered extract would be better, but give it a shot and see. :)

Is the graininess from the cocoa or the sugar? If it is the latter, I am wondering if the sugar could be melted in a pot & then added?

It is from all the ingredients (cocoa powder, sugar, and milk powder). You could certainly try melting it, just don't burn the sugar.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Commercial chocolate is also grainy when made. The reason commercial chocolate is velvety when purchased is the conching, which you cannot do by hand. In factory chocolate it can be conched for several days(conching is grinding between steel rollers over an extended period of time)

[@lowellmorton1708]

I tried this a few years ago and was extremely disappointed. It was grainy and the mouth feel was not great. I ended up investing in a melanger, which has a granite bottom with two granite wheels that grind the chocolate. I purchased one on Amazon for about $25. I can put the ingredients in there and let it run for about 3 days and the chocolate it produces tastes just like what you can purchase in the store (or better). I can adjust what I put in it and have even produced chocolate that I can have on a keto diet, substituting Allulose for the sugar and using heavy cream powder for the milk. I would highly recommend it.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

YES!! As I mentioned in the video, if you want smooth chocolate you need the melanger. Glad you got one and like it!

[@GalloPazzesco]

You might use powdered stevia instead of powdered sugar for a sugar free alternative. Also, an immersion blender really smooths things out.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You can certainly use stevia. Immersion blender will work a little bit, but still not very good. You can't skip actually using chocolate melanger for conching the chocolate. It is done for 1 to 2 full days, that is why store bought chocolate is so smooth.

Hi Matt! I just found your channel.As a grandma of seven, I am very disheartened to find that I will be unable to stock up much now for my Christmas baking. Chocolate chips, so indispensable for holiday baking, are almost $10 per bag, if you can find them. I am wondering if I can make these bars, chop them and use them instead. Is there a way to stabilize the chocolate more so that it will not melt so readily in the chocolate and will I need to temper it before using? Thanks so much!!!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Where do you live? Can you find them on Amazon for cheaper? They are still only about $3 per bag here in Phoenix. I don't think this would be cheaper, mass produced chocolate will always be cheaper than homemade if you make it like this, unless you can find the cacao butter for cheaper. That is the most expensive ingredient. And unfortunately no, homemade chocolate made with cacao powder and cacao butter like this just doesn't temper well, so it needs to be stored in the fridge, depending on how warm your house is at room temp, I still have homemade white chocolate that I just store in my pantry it doesn't melt at all. Plus you just can't get it silky smooth without a chocolate machine (melanger/conch). Chocolate is actually made from the cocoa nibs from the cocao bean which contains the cocao butter and cocoa powder together. which gets processed down grinded with heated friction which produces a pure liquid chocolate called chocolate liquor. Watch this interesting old documentary on the Hershey Chocolate Factory and how they make chocolate, old but so awesome if you like chocolate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXqUn3iXbMuGfpo A very complicated process, but the results are amazing of course. Just to hard to duplicate that at home. With that said this homemade chocolate that I show in this video will work for lots of things.

Can you substitute the icing sugar for stevia or another

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Sure it won't turn out exactly the same, but you can play around with other dry sugar substitutes. Just try and grind those as small as possible like in a food process, high speed blender, or coffee grinder. It will take away some of the grittiness.

[@mariapinto9886]

Looks good tks for sharing can pectin be added

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are welcome, Maria! Pectin is not added when making chocolate. Why would you want to add it? You can certainly try it however. It is a very easy recipe to experiment with.

[@holstrk1421]

Instead of using the caco butter can you use regular melted butter?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You can use coconut oil instead. I don't think regular butter will work, although, I haven't tried it. But butter has water in it, which is not good for chocolate.

[@margaritaherrera3669]

One thing to keep in mind: powder sugar contains cornstarch. 😢

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

There are two types of powdered sugar. Confectioner's powdered sugar which contains cornstarch and normal powdered sugar which does not. You can make your own powdered sugar by putting granulated sugar in a food processor or high speed blender. If you can't find regular powdered sugar.

[@philipplouden5892]

Look for 6x confectioners sugar. It doesn’t have cornstarch. Most grocery stores sell 10x, but 6x can be bought at specialty stores and restaurant supply.

@In The Kitchen With Matt, Thank You Matt for showing this FABULOUS fun yummy way to make chocolate candy bars 🍫 yummy 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are so very welcome! Glad you liked it. :)

@inthekitchenwithmatt I loved this video, AND THE COMMENT ABOUT DIPPING YOUR FINGER IN THE BOWL N CHOCOLATE LEFT OVERS, ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY WITH U THERE, BUT SSSHHHH LOL 🤫🤫🤫🤭🤭🤭🤣😂😆❤️❤️❤️

[@charmainewyngaard5177]

Txs for sharing. Can you use normal butter.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are welcome! It won't work very well but you can always try normal butter. It does not get as solid/firm as cocoa butter, and normal butter isn't in real chocolate. But give it a shot and see for yourself.

[@asielmundo]

thank you, the chocolate bars look like gold bars to me.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are welcome!

[@whispergirl77]

I wonder if you were to add rice crispies or nuts or whatever, if it would help to hide the grainy feel?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

It would certainly help adding other textures like those in there.

[@jlathem56]

Hey Matt! Would a coco syrup be less grainy? Or does the graininess also come from the powdered milk and powdered sugar?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hey!! I don't think cocoa syrup will work there is too much water in it. But yes part of the graininess comes from the powdered milk and the sugar.
