Homemade chocolate recipe | How to make homemade milk chocolate

milk powder

🥗Healthier: almond milk powder

💰Cheaper: powdered sugar

Almond milk powder is lower in calories, while powdered sugar can add sweetness.

cocoa butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Coconut oil provides a similar texture, while shortening is more affordable.

Melt cocoa butter in a double boiler over low heat until fully liquid.

Remove from heat and stir in cocoa powder until smooth.

Add milk powder and sugar, mixing until well combined and no lumps remain.

Incorporate vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for flavor.

If using, add emulsifier and stir until fully dissolved.

Pour the mixture into a chocolate mold or a parchment-lined pan.

Tap the mold gently to remove air bubbles.

Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set and firm.

Once set, remove from the mold and cut into pieces if necessary.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate.
