I made keto dark chocolate with your recipe and it looks promising. Smooth mirror like finish on top. I used monkfruit-erythritol as a sweetener to make it keto. Will update later for the taste. Thanks a bunch for the recipe
What I like about this video is how honest her partner is about the chocolate's taste. The taste differs from store-bought chocolate. In Lindt chocolate, they use palm oil, and palm oil is very bad for the heart. I sometimes make chocolate using sugar, butter, and cocoa powder in 40 seconds 😂
What are your thoughts about the quality and cost of ingredients available to most home cooks as compared to the qualities and prices available to fine quality comercial chocolate makers?
Almond Milk chocolate is better with smooth hazelnut praline filling(similar to kinder bueno filling hazelnut spread)for perfect balance,what do you think?
I have used cacao butter from Organic Traditions. The cocoa powder was from Valrhona. Honestly, you can use any cocoa powder and cacao butter (as long as it's food-grade) you like.
An excellent video. My question is how to make plant based milk chocolate. It's difficult to find it in the stores and the one there is quite expensive.
I am definitely going to post a video for "milk" chocolate, hopefully within the next few months. You can use several different ingredients to turn this recipe for dark chocolate into milk chocolate, including powdered coconut milk, coconut flour (which is essentially finely ground coconut), or even finely ground cashews. For milk chocolate, you would also need to increase the amount of powdered sweetener (by about 25%) and reduce the amount of cacao powder, using the same amount of cacao butter.
Here in North America, you can typically purchase it in any health food store or large grocery store. Amazon carries it as well. Just make sure you purchase food-grade cacao butter (not the one for cosmetics).
I really think there's a market for "powdered coconut sugar" with the same fineness of regular confectioners sugar. Really surprised this doesn't seem to exist!
I write about it in the blog post/recipe that I linked to in the description box below: nutritionrefined.com/how-to-make-chocolate/. I am going to copy and paste what I wrote here, (hopefully that will be easier, for you ;) "As far as extracts go, such as powdered monk fruit or stevia, they are 200-500 times sweeter than regular sugar, which in itself is an issue because you only need very little. Sugar bulks out chocolate, so if you add only a little bit of monk fruit or stevia, you'll end up with hard chocolate (similar to 100%)."
How timely--since a popular chocolate brand is being sued for heavy metal contamination. Homemade with clean unadulterated ingredients is the way to go.
I’m so glad you brought back your channel!
Aw, thank you! That honestly means a lot!❤️
Woman, you are NEXT level! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕
Thank you! What a compliment!❤️
Amazing. The review at the end was perfect. Stone ground is how you get smooth. Interesting.
The info on tempering was 10/10.
Thanks!!
Thank you so much! I am happy the video was helpful.

That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience with other sweeteners. Yes, please let me know how the chocolate turns out!
would really love to see milk chocolate recipie! Im on keto diet, so im fine with dairy, but if it's dairy free then that's good too! Thanks for this!
Wow, looks interesting. Now I want to make some!
Thank you!
You made this look very easy. Definitely will be making it.
Thank you! I hope your chocolate turns out amazing!
Thank you for the video. I wonder what are the reason for cooling and reheating and for these temperature limitations? Thanks!
It's called tempering. You can read about it here, if you'd like: nutritionrefined.com/guide-to-tempering-chocolate/
Nice to see u again
Happy to see you both again!!! :)
Thank you! :)
Such a steady hand.
;)
We missed u 😭 welcome back 💜
Thank you so much! :)
Who doesn't like chocolate 🤩 thanks for this video...I'm exited to see what recipes you will share ❤️
Nice color
Very clear explanation that you don't normally get, so not to end up with a half frozen chocolate fudge.

i use agave syrup & honey
What are your thoughts about the quality and cost of ingredients available to most home cooks as compared to the qualities and prices available to fine quality comercial chocolate makers?
I don't think I know enough about it.
Oh man, looks so good wow!
Thank you Andrew :)
Great video
I have an doubt can we cool the chocolate( in mould) in refrigerator
You don't really want to store tempered chocolate (or let it cool, for that matter) in the refrigerator. The environment is too humid.
Almond Milk chocolate is better with smooth hazelnut praline filling(similar to kinder bueno filling hazelnut spread)for perfect balance,what do you think?
Love it ❣️🙏 thank u.
Plzz tell which coco butter, and Coco powder you have used.
I have used cacao butter from Organic Traditions. The cocoa powder was from Valrhona. Honestly, you can use any cocoa powder and cacao butter (as long as it's food-grade) you like.
How about white chocolate, how to make it perfectly 🥹
I will probably share a recipe for "milk" chocolate first, but white chocolate is coming too!
Could you share where you got the mold
Hello! What powered sweetener are you using please? Was it Ecoideas Organic Coconut Icing Sugar? ❤❤

Can I use carob powder instead of cacoa powder?
I haven't tried it, but I think that it would work as long as you use cacao butter.
Where can you buy coca butter?

Agreed!!!
More and more Keto recipes ❤
Where is the link for how to use stevia, please

Hello. Are you using refined or unrefined cacoa butter? I bought some unrefined but I think it has too strong a taste.
Cacao butter shouldn't really have any taste. It does have a strong aroma though. I was unrefined cacao butter from Organic Traditions.
that looks like an art project. just give me a replicator please. mwah
Lol, that would be handy! ;)
Now ...
You may be one hellova Chef but your partner validating your preparation is what it's all about.. LoL
Profi indeed
