Today I want to make some milk chocolate. Now, some of you may have seen my other video on making chocolate. This video is the spiritual successor to that video, and it’s actually going to make some aspects of the chocolate-making process a lot cheaper and easier. That should make this possible for you to do at home. If you want to follow along with me, I’ve put a list of the ingredients I used on screen.

Powdered Milk is actually not freeze dried, its usually spray dried. In that process the Milk is sprayed in a very fine mist into a heated chamber, the milk droplets instantly dry out and then fall down as a powder.

Well, the ingredients are not that hard to get, you find them in most big supermarkets. But a wet grinder is like 500 bucks, so that is a pretty big investment for making your own chocolate. And don't even think about a food-grade freeze dryer, it's gonna cost you more than a used car.

SUGGESTION. Freeze drying different kinds of fruit juice? Oranges, Apples, Strawberries, Carrots, etc. This would be interesting because the freeze drying process can vary according to the amount of sugar in the product. That would be super cool to see and then having it being reconstituted :-) A taste test :-)

@tigress63 2 жыл бұрын

I like your approach: Honest, friendly and just wholesome :) BTW, Hershey's chocolate bars are not chocolate. Their cocoa powder is ok, but honestly anything in the chocolate bar format doesn't taste like a decent chocolate bar Maybe they get subgrade cocoa beans, it's rumoured that there is butric acid, but that likely varies with the country one is in. I suppose it depends how sensitive one's taste buds are.

You probably don't need additional cocoa butter. I make chocolate in a food processor without extra cocoa butter. The nibs warm up as the food processor runs and melts the cocoa butter. I've made extremely smooth chocolate with no added cocoa butter and used nothing but a food processor. It won't be perfectly smooth without a conche, but it was still quite good.

the reason it tastes better or high quality is because most of the commercialized chocolate bars out there aren't 100% cocoa and can barely be considered chocolate. however, they're still tasty, so nobody really cares too much because it means that it's much much cheaper than the high end bars who can afford higher percentage marketing :)

i think it's way more melty because it doesn't have the right crystal structure. i noticed that after your chocolate was cooled, it didn't shine. when your chocolate is done being ground, put it into a squeeze bottle, and sous vide it at, i think, 89F for 5 hours or something to get the right crystal structure seeded. THEN transfer that into your chocolate molds. that should make it not as melty.
