Ingredients

  • Milk powder- 1.25 cups
  • Cocoa powder- 1/4 cup
  • Sugar - 3/4 cup
  • Butter- 1/4 cup
  • Water- 1/2 cup

Instructions

Preparation

  • Sieve the milk powder followed by cocoa powder over a wide tray and keep them aside.

Method

  • Take sugar in a pan and heat it up. Add 1/2 cup of water and let the sugar dissolve in medium flame. Keep stirring the mixture, as it boils for few minutes check the consistency.
  • When the sugar syrup reaches single string consistency, add butter to it. In couple of minutes the butter gets integrated with sugar syrup. Mix well and switch off the heat.
  • Next add cocoa powder plus milk powder mixture (few tbsp at a time) to the sugar syrup. Mix well till glossy. Repeat this process till you finish all the mixture of milk powder and cocoa powder.
  • Now the chocolate mixture is ready which is glossy and thick. Transfer it over a ghee greased tray and level it with flat spatula. Keep it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. After the freezing time cut the desired shape using cookie cutter.
  • Very delcious home made chocolate is ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Sieving milk powder along with cocoa powder ensures the powder is lump free. Do not skip this step.
  • When you check a drop of sugar syrup between your fingers, it should form a single string. That is single string consistency. If it's not, continue cooking for few more minutes.
  • You need to switch off the stove before adding milk powder plus cocoa powder. If you continue cooking the chocolate will be very hard.
  • Do not add all the milk powder and cocoa powder at once, instead do it in steps. Few tbsp at a time. This helps the powder to combine evenly.
  • You can cut the chocolates in desired shape and even sprinkle some nut powder too.
