** NEW REFERRAL LINK TO MIAMI FRUIT - the small independent business where I sourced my cacao pods: miamifruit.org?aff=63 **
Have you ever wondered how chocolate is made?
Alright, let’s go from cacao pod to chocolate bar today on this super-intensive video. I am not going to lie, although this was a lot of fun, it was also a lot of hard work.
In total, this process took me over 2 months, not because the process takes this long, but because I messed up a few times had to start over, as well as deal with some week-long camera issues that didn’t allow me to film. However in my folly, I learned a lot, and I hope to pass what I learned on so you don’t make the same pitfalls I did.
Chocolate making is a very complicated and intricate process, but today, I am going to show you my simplistic attempt at making chocolate, however, even with my plebian attempt at chocolate, it still turned out really well.
Chocolate making has more or less 4 steps:
0:00 Intro
2:04 Fermentation
3:49 Drying and roasting
5:34 Grinding
7:59 Heating and forming

Thank you this made me crave chocolate now and it's 42 c outside 😂😂😂
Banana is a fruit Nutella has nuts made out of
Lets be honest, chocolate was invented because like everything else, someone tried making alcohol out of it and didn't know what to do with the leftovers
Wow
:D
That is the role of most discoveries....mistakes turning out with benefits haha
That's it. That's the history of food.
Sounds about right.

LOL
As he sets his army of slave Oompa-Loompas to do his bidding! I mean, seriously! This guy wants us to believe that Oompa-Loompas lived in a ferocious jungle, eating mashed caterpillars, and yet somehow became the best chocolatiers in the world?! Heck no! Loompaland must have been an amazing place at one time for the Oompa-Loompas to have acquired those skills. Tell me, how do you think those whangdoodles and snozzwangers came to the remote reaches of Loompaland in the first place? Something tells me Mr. Wonka might know something he's not letting on about. The only thing Wonka is a master at is manipulation and exploitation.

No, what most people didn't know is the actual taste of the fruit itself when it's fresh. Try one you wouldn't regret it. It tastes kind of similar to a Philippine fruit called guyabano but on a mellow side.
I'm brazillian and i've eaten several of them fresh. It isn't too much of my liking but oh boy my family sure loves it
I knew it lol. I when I first saw the thumbnail I thought “wait cacao beans look like Guayaba or Guanabana!!”
its really really good actually. my family in south india grew this and my cousin’s grandpa gave me the seeds and i would suck on the seeds to get the fruit out and it was actually really good and tasty

I live in Jamaica and those 'cocopods' we just call them chocolate and we eat it raw when we want to. I really enjoyed climbing the trees and picking them with my cousins. They're actually delicious and don't taste as disgusting as you think they look. They were a huge part of my childhood I can definitely say.
Indeed the white membrane surrounding them (not the seed itself) is tasty and edible
Same girl same
I live in Indonesia, and we did it too! It was fun when we were child and climb the tree to pick the "chocolate" fruit
I'm from Kerala, India... Me too have same childhood memories... Even now we eat it
Same like in Indonesia we call them chocolate fruit
I am Indonesian and lived in the countryside when I was kids. I remember, me and my friends, we often ate the cocoa seeds like a candy and spit out the seeds after the sweet sour white part outside disappeared. We picked it from the neighbor’ garden. The fruit make me feel nostalgic. Nice video btw!

Dang. Prices on chocolate seem real cheap now given how labor intensive it is.
Slave labor + factory processes
Well, it's not labor intensive at all, when you can automate most of the processes, AND double/triple/quadruple the yield by milkifying the chocolates, dark chocolate can be pretty expensive though, depends on the purity you buy. :P
All of a sudden the pricing makes sense. :D
Here in India, Coco beans are very cheap. Please let me know if anybody wants huge amount Coco. I can export. Thanks - Jerin Mathew
Prices are indeed cheap. Reason is CHILD LABOR
So impressive that you did this on your own, and really gives you a profound appreciation to the art of chocolate making and the incredible cultures who first cultivated this fascinating plant.
I'm from the Philippines and the Cacao fruit pretty much grows everywhere here. Growing up we had one tree at my grandmother's house and every time it bore fruit, my brother and I would consume the pulp and leave out the seeds for our grandma. I always noticed she would leave the seeds to dry in the sun and always wondered what it was for but never bothered to ask. Eventually I realized it was one of the many steps to make hot choco (locally called Sikwate). Looking back, I couldn't believe I overlooked such a wonderful skill to learn and how awesome my grandma is.

@@alexyap9138 ohh!! Cool here we call the chocolate tablea i dont really know if it’s the same with other places tho or if it’s different but i know it’s cacao lmao

We share a common story. I’m from Colombia and when I was a child I used to do the same thing, but in my case, the first time I ate the fruit, I discarded the seeds, and my grandma got mad at me 😅😅
I was expecting something gross involving bugs or animals but it's literally just fermented lol. man has a low bar for disgusting
Yeah... A lot of things are fermented
Luckily, I already knew. 🙃
lol its clickbait
I thought the insides of the cocoa pods looked gross.
@@Nico-jc7zr it looks like the inside of a custard apple
Awesome tutorial thanks homie!
I guess this is why natural processed coffee has always a very dark chocolatey undertones to it, chocolate and coffee are both seeds and especially being natural processed they're both fermented within their "shells" / mucous / flesh so to speak. Fascinating.
How did the first person to make this even know how to do this
Time travel.

"Ok so hear me out"
-some Aztec like 4,000 years ago
Bahahah
They likely fermented the beans for alcohol.
Lmao 😂
Aztecs weren't around 4,000 years ago. They were around when the Spanish arrived but did not date back even close to 1000 years ago.
@Dan
I think you may have to double check that one chief, i'd google it but I can't atm. They're def a really old civilization iirc.
here's a tip: use small commercial coffee bean grinder (looks like tiny blender). this way you can knock it while it's running, giving you a very fine powder what somewhat resembles cornstarch
found your video and i found your way of fermentation better, especially since you go into a little bit more depth on how you ferment it. overall, your video is nice and its very helpful
"Making chocolate is a pretty disgusting process"

You can also temper the chocolate just putting the chocolate bowl inside another bowl with cold water and just keep mixing the chocolate until it cools down
Whoever discovered how to turn a bean like this into chocolate is a genius
I highly doubt it was just one person. Most likely discovered and refined through generations of trial and error.
Or nature, fermentation happened naturally it dried out and than someone ate it dried and said wow that taste good. After that generations later we have chocolate bars lol
@@adventuresdaily would still need to come up with the idea of roasting and grinding and all of the other steps etc along the way, but yeah why not. (I'm no expert)
@@Devilsharck yeah nature didnt make the chocolate bar. Clearly that would take human input. I just meant the idea probably started after the bean had already been fermented unless somebody’s really was just into fermentation and was fermenting all types of seeds and things to see what they get and discovered this. Who knows.
Mayans did
Fun fact, the Aztecs used Cacao beans as currency. It was someone's job to rip people's hearts out professionally, and that man was paid in chocolate.
Things like that make me glad white people conquered them 😂 No cap
@@charlesg7926 Credit should actually go to Cortes's Tlaxcalan allies. The Aztecs would have easily crushed Cortes's small exploration force if they weren't absolutely despised by all their neighbors.
@@gantzisballs the truth is that Cortes crushed them all....
@@luiginovoa68 Not with his own manpower. His entire force had 70 arquebus guns and like 5 cannons. He also had a small number of horses that the Aztec quickly figured out aren't divine beasts and will just die if you shoot arrows at them. Small pox was a factor, but didn't wipe out the whole empire in a month. Cortez's strategic alliances were the decisive factor in his victory. Although if he didn't return and the Spanish Empire actually went to war with the Aztecs, the full might of the Spanish could have crushed them without alliances.
@@charlesg7926 a bit racist lol
Just took a chocolate making excursion on a Caribbean cruise! You nailed the steps perfectly. And our bars also came out fantastic. Yes, the white goop was edible and tasted good, although our host said to spit out the center seed/nib. :) thanks!

Probably was making alchohol and just decided to experiment with extra cocoa beans since I hear that the process isnt that different at the start
I mean cavemen made fire without knowing it exists. Many things are discovered by accident.
They didn't make chocolate bars, that was after discovering the Americas, cocoa was so precious it was even used as money. Tribes used to make a drink with it and a lot of spices and that's it, if I remember correctly, there's a legend of an Aztec emperor who ate 40kg of cocoa daily.
@@gageunruh3574 apparently alcohol and its effects were discovered by eating rotten fruit. I can imagine that in that climate there would be a lot of rotting cacao fruit, especially before this process was developed. It is then quite easy to just leave the beans out to dry/roast in the hot midday sun. Also, there was a lot more agriculture going on than these days and finding and improving products for consumption was their work.
I'm from Mexico, country where the cocoa beans were discivered by the spanish and in the history of the contry it says that the mesoamerican cultures used to use cocoa beans as a soup with chile wich made it spicy
I've never seen a cocoa pod before now. Thank you for sharing this very interesting video!
Thank you for sharing. This was really interesting, I had no idea how complex it was! 😊
First person to make chocolate: OOPS I just accidentally harvested, roasted, grinded and mixed all of these ingredients and made something delecious!!
The Incas are the first people to make chocolates. The white pulp is usually fermented for months to make a naturally bitter alcoholic drink which tasted like beer. Someone must have thought to just roast the seeds and grind it since it is edible. Their chocolate is very bitter though since they don't add milk or sugar
@@ShadowMoon878 Montezuma was said to have consumed 50 gold goblets full of spiced chocolate in a short time. Apparently for the libido boost. It was made with peppers, and a few other spices, iirc. Just imagine if they had sugar. He likely would have developed Diabetes.
@@mlburkh Actually it has been scientifically proven that chocolates do raise your libido. It releases the pleasure hormones much faster, giving you more "hunger" in bed.
Btw, spiced chocolate drink is still being made by the Mexicans in the Yucatan and the Peruvians, passed down by the Aztecs and the Incas. It is called Xocolatl.
I feel the same about the invention of coffee. We found those beans that taste like ass. We dry them and they still taste like ass. We roast them to make them smell good but they still taste like ass. If we grind them into a powder and mix it with hot water it still taste like ass BUT... add some milk and sugar and eventually you get used to the taste of ass and then need it every day.
The first liquid chocolate was a frothy drink held in high esteem by the Olmecs, Maya and Aztecs. The first solid chocolate was developed in Europe, which produced what would basically be candy bars.
How the hell did people back in the day even think about performing all these steps to make chocolate?
Pure curiosity. Everything ever invented was done by some crazy person who was curious to try just about anything.
@@ISILENTNINJAI As a great example most European cheeses come from priest who due to interpretation of the Bible could not eat meat most of the time. The monotony of cheese led to many priest experimenting with different methods of fermenting and cooking cheese as a way of adding variety to their limited diet.
Unfortunately the mesoamerican civilizations never developed a writing system so the origin of chocolate is lost to pre-history.
However we can guess that fermenting and drying things was pretty common, and there were probably people experimenting with different foods.
EDIT: In fact the Mayans had a well developed writing system, the Aztecs had a writing system that is poorly understood by modern scholars and the Incans did not have a writing system (instead using a sophisticated system of knot tying called Quipu).
The 4 surviving examples of Mayan written documents (the Codexes) contain extensive historical records of celestial events (including historical predictions of eclipses) so it's possible that there were more qualitative historical accounts among the countless thousands of codexes burnt by the murderous Spanish Conquistadors.
@@TonkarzOfSolSystem
They treated cocoa similar as coffee or tea didn't they? As there is some caffeine in cocoa.
Ancient cultures already get to the fermentation and roasting, there is even a traditional drink named pozol made of cacao beans and corn, but or course, the flavor is strong, when the powder was combined with milk in colonial times and was taken to Europe it became popular, and so it became a thing that get to Swiss and kinda go from the more rustic chocolate bar to the dessert it is today
Wow . Amazing ! You’re awesome ! Great job. I really enjoyed watching ! What a process ! Thank you for making this video !
Thank you for such an informative video. Didn't skip any steps for viewer. I read where the they are wanting to reduce the water and recycle process waste used for making coffee from the coffee beans and chocolate. I could see where there is much waste from just a small batch. We need to think outside the box (of chocolates) to modify process so there is less water and waste.

Hey, nice vid. :)
If you'd like, have a tip from a Brazillian: try to buy/import "Cupuaçu" and "Cacauí" and make the same process with them. They are very close relatives of cocoa (we call it "Cacau", btw) and make distinctive products when processed just like the cocoa. Cupuaçu, for example, becomes cupulate, its equivalent to chocolate.
:)
That's an incredible amount of work. I'm surprised chocolate doesn't cost more.
Probably cuz most of this process can be automated very quickly, too bad that most of the cocoa that comes out is from child work, but it's chocolate so oh well whatever
Processes can be automated, and the yield can be quadrupled when you make lighter chocolate, like milky chocolate for example...
"Dude no! What have you done?!"
"Sorry i accidentally fermented and dried the cocoa beans for a few days, then roasted them, ground them to powder and accidentally mixed it with butter and sugar and let it cool...."
"We cant sell these anymore... wait let me taste... WOOOW"
🤣
Well, to be fair to history... the Aztecs and Mayans only did up to through the grinding part. Then they drank it, usually with ground chili peppers. It's understandable, though... there was no sugarcane in the Americas. Somebody from Europe decided to mix it with sugar and later milk. Arguably, though, the first part to get to a ground state WAS the one requiring the most leaps of faith!
Anyway.. yeah, historical cooks were definitely crazy and inventive... but sometimes the crazy did come in multiple phases.

@@MzwandileHarmans almost everything has to be fermented, yogurt, cheese, beverage, wine
@@Kav_himself. Lol. My comment didn’t say the opposite
That's really cool, thanks for sharing!
Finally... I am not stupid anymore when it comes to chocolate... And the transformation of the bean process...first time saw documented. Thanks a lot, man!
"This took me 2 months to make"
Willy Wonka: *pathetic*
"ompa duma dumpty dú there legs are weird because he broke their knees!"
Lmao
Oompa loompa doompa de doo
Someone should tell Augustus the chocolate river was poop
lmao
Guy who did this first must have been an unparalleled genius but he probably looked like a maniac. Imagine how many times he had to say “leave me alone, I know what im doing”
Is it a Kimi reference?
@@slf1239 to be honest with you, I hadn’t fully decided. Didn’t think anyone would get it if it was, but since you asked let’s say yes.
I believe they just ate the leftover seeds and liked it because chocolate makes you feel good so they grounded it and mixed with water
Chocolate as we know it came from a very long process evolution.
yeah dude things are not discovered in a vacuum, this process was build on previously known processes.
This must be one of the most wholesome video i have seen on yt
Whoever discovered how to make chocolate from this deserves recognition and respect!
Wow, I'll never complain about the price of chocolate again.
ALCHOLOHOL CHOCHLOT
@@Peach_Lobot0my yes frank, alcohol chochlot
Yeah, unfortunately it’s that cheap because it’s unethically sourced using sl*ve labor.
@@Marixchatt What do you mean by slave labor? You mean people working a job?
@@hollowplastic1871 In many countries (especially Africa) there are many people who are forced into slavery to produce sugar and cocoa. Also, the people who are paid are not payed a livable wage and live in extreme poverty.
Imagine when you take 2 months to make a chocolate but you just take 2 minutes to finish eating it
That's why you bulk make it
Love that you used a mocahete for the grinding.
I had to hit "Like" to show my appreciation for all the difficult and time-consuming work you put into your video. It was also extremely informative. From London 🇬🇧
“Homemade Chocolate”
One step: So add a piece of dark chocolate not made by yourself
I can’t wait for the recipe... add
1/4 cup of cocoa butter
A pinch of salt
1 square of Hershey’s dark chocolate
🍫
you can avoid that, but it will super bitter. factory made has multiple type chocolate from cocoa. and they still mix each types to give different taste.
The reason: fermenting and roasting process effected the whole taste.
Why do people have to be so snarky about this? Do you know how to do it? Have you made anything from scratch.
I enjoyed watching it and learned a lot!
Always with the quips
I’m just making a joke lmao, sorry if it wasn’t to your standards
"Making chocolate is a lot more disgusting than you think" how; and what's shitting it out?
Just poop out a shit and mix it with some sugar and butter
Boom, homemade chocolate
@@blackman5867 LOL that’s not how chocolate made its so much than you think

I have a cocoa plant at home. I really enjoy eating the fruit part.
You are super insane....you freaking made chocolate at your own damm home, right from the cocoa beans,....wowwwww....that's super awesome......that was really super awesome and super fun to watch....super thanks for sharing....you rock!!
I love the fact that here in Brazil, we eat cocoa and use the seeds to make a dessert, but abroad, there are people who don't even know that chocolate comes from a fruit. In fact, we eat the "fruit" and leave the cocoa in the sun to speed up the fermentation process, the process ends in half the time
Plus, there's the effect of the saliva enzymes on the chocolate bean.
Same in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Everyone doesn't know it's from plant?
In Mexico we do all kinds of shit to chocolate due to it being domesticated from here, there’s recipes that date from thousands of years and are still being used today
same here in asia. i love the pulp of coca fruit more than the seed itself.
I used to eat a lot of these back in the days, never thought that I'm literally eating raw chocolate, lol. We call it cacao fruit
Well the plant is called cacao/cocao, it's just used to make "chocolate", the plant itself isn't known as that.
@@qr-code6334 Cocoa
@@hyacinth-jimwellfernandezd3633 in a lot of other languages we call it cacao.
Did you eat the membrane or the bean or both?
@@alexandergeorgiev2631 We suck the white thing around the seeds inside the cacao
It's absolutely amazing how much unique food we get from nature, it really is awesome to think about
The Lord really did create & blessed us abundantly with literally countless amazing thing's...especially foods!
It astounds me!
Wow! I really want to try this! Amazing!
When you watch stuff like this it makes me think how in the hell did someone first discover chocolate
Probably starving and desperate
Invader Jet If they were starving and desperate then they'd probably just eat the cacao bean on it's own. Actual chocolate is probably the result of an accident or too much free time
@@eliselo9073 probably lol
It looks like they were trying to make alcohol or coffee-like drink until someone added sugar and milk.
Wasnt alcohol discovered by accident? Im sure i read bread was left in water or something.
The Mayans were absolutely special people. They gave us chocolate.
Totally underrated creators
@@makanaki513 agreed
They probably went demented with sugar and killed each other...just like us now
mexicans because we make the best food
Native Mexican tribes first used it but not sweet , sugar with chocolate mix was by way of Europeans . Mexicans still use it for food preparation of certain dishes like Mole and forms of fermented drinks Atole
that was the first time i saw a coconut .. wow .. thanks for showing the whole process great work :)
That video was worth watching well done I may give that a try! thank you!
