    In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt, I will show you how to make milk chocolate with cocoa powder. This easy homemade milk chocolate recipe only requires 4 ingredients. While this doesn't taste exactly like storebought chocolate which is processed from cocoa beans and not cocoa powder and uses big machines, it is still fun to make at home and tastes great. But be warned if you are expecting it to taste exactly like storebought mass-produced chocolate, you will be disappointed. Homemade milk chocolate using cocoa powder is super easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it. Let's get started!

    Pro Tip: Once you have poured in the liquid chocolate into the molds, look left, look right, look behind, and when you see no one's there, dip your finger into the bowl, run the finger around to collect as much leftover as possible, and enjoy heaven ha ha :)

      Take your powdered milk into a coffee grinder and grind that the espresso level. It makes the chocolate much smoother. I put mine in the kitchen aid mixer, or the scraping by and let it run for a couple of hours. What a difference.

    I think this is the first home made chocolate video I've seen that's honest. Thank you for your honesty about the texture and little bit of grainy texture. Watching other videos I thought I was doing something wrong but now I know that the homemade stuff will be a little grainy and not 100% smooth like store bought. Thank you again for your honest video! 🤗

  • @stephenmiller8556

    I wanted to share with you something that I discovered while watching you make your chocolate. You spoke about the texture of the chocolate because of the powdered milk, and not being able to stir it in the machine for three or four days. Well what I did was put my dehydrated milk in a coffee grinder and ground down to a very fine espresso powder. And there's about a 10th of a percent reduction in volume, maybe just a bit more. So what I did I added it just like you instructed and I put mine in a KitchenAid mixer with a scraping blade and let it run for a couple hours. What a difference it made almost completely smooth. Thanks for your video can't wait to see the one on tempering.

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt

    I have a powdered coconut milk/creamer and I just used a tablespoon of it and it was pretty awesome tasting. I'm glad I tried it. A dark chocolate and milk chocolate candy bars are $2.29 at the 6-11.
    Also Coco producers lost 1/3 of their crop in the year 2020 so expect the price of cocoa powder to go way up .

    I actually grow a number of Theobroma cacao trees, and harvest the pods 3x a year. Also pressing my own cocoa butter, and roasting other cocoa seeds to make my own cocoa powder. I even grow my own vanilla orchids. But I still have to purchase milk powder and icing sugar....

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt  Před měsícem +5

      That is awesome!!! It might be worth it to get an actual chocolate machine. For that, you would use regular white sugar and not powdered sugar. Also since you have your own pods you wouldn't use cocoa powder there is a different process which is how real chocolate is made. Real chocolate isn't made with cocoa powder. But this is a good "homemade" way to make it.

    I would like to commend you on your honesty and transparency about how the chocolate in this recipe would come out compared to store-bought chocolate. let us something that has been lacking in a large number of CZcams videos I have looked at on this very same topic. You, and one other CZcamsr that I know of for sure early the only ones that made this disclaimer explicitly, and because of that I don’t think that I would actually attempt to make this type of chocolate at my house. I suppose it might be fun as an experiment, but I think the ingredients I have would be better served for making something else. So thank you for saving me from the disappointment. I’m happy to report however, I did make your three ingredient fudge yesterday, and three of us got to taste it so far and it was quite yummy. it was the chocolate fudge, and I actually added vanilla extract and almonds to my batch. Keep up the good work and will be looking at more of your videos in the future, have a nice day.

      You are very welcome, Jason!! Yeah unfortunately, you just can't make really good homemade chocolate without using special chocolate making equipment, and even then real chocolate isn't even made from cocoa powder, they use the cocoa nibs which cocoa powder comes from. But it is a fun experiment. And like you mentioned so many other things you can make with those ingredients. Glad you made the fudge and liked it!

      You can certainly use stevia. Immersion blender will work a little bit, but still not very good. You can't skip actually using chocolate melanger for conching the chocolate. It is done for 1 to 2 full days, that is why store bought chocolate is so smooth.

    Thanks mate this is great. What should one do to make it 70% dark

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt  Před rokem +1

      You are welcome, it is hard to reproduce certain percentages like that at home. But in general the percentage of dark (70%) refers to the amount of processed cacao in relation to the other ingredients. In this case the processed cacao is the combination of cacao powder and cacao butter. So reducing the sugar and milk powder start to up the percentage if that makes sense.

      You could try it, but normally you don't want to use a liquid extract because of the water in it, it can ruin the chocolate. A dry powdered extract would be better, but give it a shot and see. :)

    Hi Matt, I know this is a year late but is it possible to use regular milk if you double (or even triple) the quantities of the other ingredients?

    Hi Matt! I just found your channel.As a grandma of seven, I am very disheartened to find that I will be unable to stock up much now for my Christmas baking. Chocolate chips, so indispensable for holiday baking, are almost $10 per bag, if you can find them. I am wondering if I can make these bars, chop them and use them instead. Is there a way to stabilize the chocolate more so that it will not melt so readily in the chocolate and will I need to temper it before using? Thanks so much!!!

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt  Před rokem +3

      Where do you live? Can you find them on Amazon for cheaper? They are still only about $3 per bag here in Phoenix. I don't think this would be cheaper, mass produced chocolate will always be cheaper than homemade if you make it like this, unless you can find the cacao butter for cheaper. That is the most expensive ingredient. And unfortunately no, homemade chocolate made with cacao powder and cacao butter like this just doesn't temper well, so it needs to be stored in the fridge, depending on how warm your house is at room temp, I still have homemade white chocolate that I just store in my pantry it doesn't melt at all. Plus you just can't get it silky smooth without a chocolate machine (melanger/conch). Chocolate is actually made from the cocoa nibs from the cocao bean which contains the cocao butter and cocoa powder together. which gets processed down grinded with heated friction which produces a pure liquid chocolate called chocolate liquor. Watch this interesting old documentary on the Hershey Chocolate Factory and how they make chocolate, old but so awesome if you like chocolate. czcams.com/video/7I1nEa7fSH8/video.html A very complicated process, but the results are amazing of course. Just to hard to duplicate that at home. With that said this homemade chocolate that I show in this video will work for lots of things.

    Looks easy recipe to make. One question: as you said it will not be as velvety like market bought chocolate bar. So to make it as much velvety as possible can the mixture be whipped for sometime using an electric whipper?

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt  Před 2 měsíci

      No that won't help much whipping is not the same as grinding. That is how chocolate gets smooth it is in this machine with stone wheels and turn and grind the little particles smaller and smaller over a day or two or three of time. Whipping will just move them around and won't really get them smaller. And with a high powered blender you can only get the individual ingredients so small at some point they just don't get any smaller.

Because my family felt mine came out somewhat bitter and more dark flavored, and I want to ramp up the sweetness a bit. I also held back maybe a tablespoon of powdered sugar as my chocolate had thickened (I think I needed more cacao discs).

      I haven't tried it, you can always give it a try. My guess is it won't work very well, since there is water in the maple syrup, which is a "no no" for chocolate. But feel free to experiment, it is a super easy recipe to mess around with.
