@@IGYETII are you one of those people who believe that the radiation from microwaves somehow contaminates the food or denatures the tissue in food in a less healthy way than traditional heat?

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.
Isn't there even a method that combines those two? I vaguely remember visiting a factory with the class and they had a spraydry machine that had a big " don't open while under vacuum" sign on it. The Machine had the size of a pickup.
The chocolate is probably meltier because you didn't temper it too, having the proper crystal structure would help making it more resistant to temperature
After crushing the beans put them in a bowl and toss. As you're tossing them in the bowl blow on them, the lighter skins will fly out of the bowl while the heavier nibs will stay.
Just an addendum: Most comercial powdered milk is made with what is basically a sprinkler system(like the ones for fires, not for the garden) inside a very hot oven.... The droplets of milk dry as they're falling and... Boom! Powdered milk
For separating the husks from the beans (aka. winnowing) take them and two bowls outside on a day with some breeze or take a fan with you; pour the beans back and forth from one bowl to the other, allowing the wind to blow the chaff away. Let them fall 2 or 3 feet (1 meter).
If you put your silicon mold on top of a tray, you can tap the whole tray without flexing the mold. Also, cool Harvest Right. I have some of them and they are an amazing machine.
I want to see a pantry full of freeze dried fruit powders. I think changing up a lemon bar, but using other fruits mixed with the powder could be awesome and intense. Maybe blueberries.
I feel your pain. I don't even have a kitchen. I watch all kinds of videos on how to make stuff and home improvement but I've always never had enough space or money.
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.
I don't know if this will work but you can peel garlic cloves easily by putting them together in a lidded container and giving them a vigorous shaking. Wonder if something similar might work on cocoa beans.
I can't wait for the freeze-drying video, the process just sounds really cool. and WHOA those chocolate bars looked so delicious... I have to try that one day. How long did the peeling process take for the number of cacao beans you used for this recipe?
@@zypper7213 Hershey's supposedly uses a manufacturing process for their chocolate and it makes the same acid as one of the types that we find in puke. So some people find that Hershey's tastes like barf. I've also heard that Hershey's is a bit too grainy, but I'm not sure how much truth there is to that. Personally I don't think it's that bad, I like the extra tang of the acid, but I can understand why people don't like it.
@@zypper7213 it tastes like really cheap, low quality grainy sugary chocolate. Kind of like a bar you'd get for 30p which legally can't be called chocolate
Great video. Would love to see you make instant coffee using the dry freezer and recording the changes in taste. If you have the budget for some high quality coffee beans, a high quality instant coffee video would be really cool
Can you do that with a sweetener or a natural sweetener like stevia? Also, is it possible to use a saturated fat like coconut oil? Seems like cocoa butter is pretty saturated at 60%, but I love coconut, so that is why I am asking anyway.
Ben Krasnow, these days Applied Science, has a video from years and years ago about making astronaut I've cream, but he also shows freeze dried jello, which ends up being a little like aerogel made from gelatin and sugar, and it looked super cool. Something interesting to try with the freeze drier
I have a question that could be an interesting prompt for a video using the freeze-drier. If you freeze-dry almond milk is the result the same as almond meal?
Wow making chocolate looks like so much fun! Would you care to try out freeze drying some plant based milks (like soy, pea or cashew) and seeing what happens to the chocolate? That would be very interesting!
The prolonged "grinding" is called "conching". It's the conching that makes the chocolate smooth, and it works on all kinds of chocolate, not only the milky one.
Could you cold infuse some really high quality tea into the milk and then strain it and freeze dry it to make an AMAZING tea flavored milk chocolate bar? It really depends where you live but loose leaf single origin tea that mixes well with milk flavor profile such as an Assamica varietal from Sri Lanka, a Japanese Hojicha , maybe even something weird like a very creamy ripe pu er or even sticky rice pu erh from Yunnan China. Also I wonder if the difference vegan milks can be used to make vegan milk chocolate and what are the best flavored ones!?

This good video so I once tried coco powder and think used wrong sugar was demorara brown sugar. Not sure if need more milk powder but chocolate didn't set was more like cake bar crunchy texture... Tips? 😂
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.
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 :-)
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.
@@wtfbro-5 yes, it's a curved line to be precise. it resembles a strand of hair on the screen of mobile users. it works quite often and everybody (including the victim) has a laugh.
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 :)
Winnowing. You get a big bowl. Toss all the crushed bs up into the air and catch it. Arrange so the air has some wind. Catch the nuts, the shells blow away. You can use inclined planes and textured surfaces and other methods to incline this method to sort in your favor. Lots of variations through history.

Separating yourself from a microwave can really help you eat better. Reheat food in the oven.

Just came in to say the same thing. But definitely impressed by his enthusiasm to get to the final result!
I was wondering about that. Would you temper the chocolate after the 12 hours in the grinder? Is that the last step?
@@kathrynjones2881 I think you would put some seed chocolate in just before you pour it, but I'm not certain.
Also the fat from the milk has a lower melting point. Typically you would use skim milk (which has virtually no fat).
I'd say, melty is good.
I like the little text comments that you casually add to the vid
After crushing the beans put them in a bowl and toss. As you're tossing them in the bowl blow on them, the lighter skins will fly out of the bowl while the heavier nibs will stay.

What happens when you put coffee beans into the wet grinder instead of coco? I need to know!
I just watched an episode of Dr Stone that explained how to freeze dry and it matches up with yours!
when you were playing with the freeze dried milk powder it reminded me of "look around you" science experiments.
I’ve tried this and can confirm it actually broke the space-time continuum and created a vortex.

The bar is more melty because you didn’t temper the chocolate. Chocolate Alchemy is a great resource for cocoa beans and reading.
By using this grand chocolate bar recipe I'll be able to warp reality itself!
could you put coffee means in the wet grinder? like, is coffee butter a thing?

I remember freeze dried strawberries being delicious. Haven't have those in years.
It you lt the bar setup for a couple days you would get more crystal structure and it wouldt be as melty
Have you put ice cream in the freeze dryer to essentially make “space food” ice cream?
can you use a food processor in place of the mortar and pistil ?
Would you be able to make Caramelised white chocolate using the wet mill?
You could use the dehydrator to make instant espresso/coffee powder.
could it be a bit 'melty', through lack of tempering?

freeze dry berries and cut fruit and eat as is, in yoghurt or incorporate it in the chocolate

In theory, how would you go about adding some kinda flavor to this chocolate?
You don’t have a microwave?
