Have you ever wondered if you can store your favorite Lindt truffles in the freezer? Lindt truffles are delicate and delicious chocolate treats that many people enjoy. But can they withstand the cold temperatures of the freezer without compromising their taste and texture?
How difficult is it to make fancy chocolate bars at home?
I don’t often ask questions with the intent of answering them myself. In fact, I don’t recall ever doing that specifically. However, I just got done making homemade chocolate for the first time, and I’m really excited about it, so I wanted to write about it! Please forgive my small self-indulgence, dear readers.
Anyhow, as it turns out, it’s a whole lot easier than I expected it to be. Of course, as I mentioned, this is my first go-round, so there will probably be some things I need to fine-tune, especially tempering and texture/evenness/pro-looking finish. My first bars and bonbons are finishing in the fridge now, though, and I tasted enough of it during the mold-filling process to know it’s going to be delicious. (Also, I am licking the bowl even as I type this. Mmmmmmm.)
So, what I decided to make was, depending on your perspective, either an unusual dark chocolate with milk in it, or a super classy milk chocolate with way more cacao solids in it than normal. I like very dark chocolate if it’s high quality enough but I also really enjoy a fine, well-made milk chocolate. So I decided to compromise by including a decent splash of whole milk (probably 10% of the whole was milk, at most) but using a large amount of cocoa solids as well. (I didn’t measure as I was going by flavor and the result I was seeing in the pan, but it’s no less than 50% cacao solids, bare minimum. Frankly, I was pretty conservative with the sugar, so it might be as high as 80%. It certainly tastes more like an 80 than a 50, but the relatively low sugar and high cocoa butter content might be tricking my tongue.)
My first batch of chocolate! Definitely not pro-looking yet, but I’ll get better.
So here’s what you do. First, assemble your ingredients. You’ll want nice candy molds to shape your finished chocolate, for one thing. You’ll also want to have the highest-quality food-grade cocoa butter you can get your hands on, plus the finest cocoa powder you can get your hands on, the best sugar (or honey, or preferred sweetener; I used regular sugar but lots of other stuff will work), and the best real vanilla extract. The flavor of your chocolate depends more on the ingredients you began with than anything else, so shop accordingly! The higher the quality of your ingredients, the better your result will be. This is almost always true in cooking in general, and it’s especially true with such a simple recipe (only three truly required ingredients).
For extras/flavor enhancement, you have SO MANY options. That’s part of the appeal. I chose to buy freeze-dried powdered cherries and raspberries because I like fruity dark chocolate, but you can also use nuts, shredded coconut, whole dried fruit pieces, sprinkles – anything you want. But basically, to make dark chocolate, you only need three things: Cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and sugar (or honey, etc.) Even then, you can substitute coconut butter, dairy butter, or other substances for the cocoa butter (though the result won’t be as good; it will be harder to keep it from melting at room temperature, for one thing.)
If you’re making basic normal chocolate, vanilla helps enhance the flavor a lot and you will probably feel like something is missing if you don’t use it but it’s not strictly necessary. If you like, you can use additional or different flavorings instead of or in addition to adding inclusions – imagine using a little peppermint flavoring in your chocolate.
For milk chocolate, you will of course want to add milk. I used normal whole milk, same as I drink from the gallon, but I noticed a lot of recipes called for powdered milk instead. I felt that the liquid milk helped the sugar dissolve smoothly into the overall mixture, but I intend to get some powdered milk and experiment with it. I will edit this if it turns out that using powdered milk works out better for some reason. So far, though, the liquid milk appears to work just fine.
So what you do once you have your ingredients sounds complex, but it’s quite easy.
First you need to set up a double boiler. Get a saucepan and put some water in it. Place a metal mixing bowl into the saucepan so that it’s sitting above (or, if you can keep the water temperature low enough to keep it under control, resting slightly on the top of) the water. Now bring the water to a light simmer. A very light simmer. I found the ideal position on my electric stove was 2–3! You want it to be JUST hot enough to melt your cocoa butter, but not so hot that the chocolate separates while you’re working on it. If it’s separating, you’ve got it too hot.
You don’t want to get water in your chocolate, mind! You won’t be using the water for anything except to help you keep the ingredients/mixture at the correct temperature while you’re working.
While the double boiler was warming up, I grabbed a good quantity of the excellent cocoa butter I bought and chopped it to a fine consistency to help it melt faster. (I was expecting it to taste more like white chocolate, but it’s very good. It actually tasted a lot more like dark chocolate than I expected. I knew it wouldn’t be sweet, of course, but I expected it to be more like white chocolate but not sweet. It made me realize that most white chocolate is made with very poor-quality cocoa butter, which is a shame. I’m planning to make some white chocolate with this stuff. I’ve never been a white chocolate fan, but this cocoa butter might just change my mind. Truly excellent stuff.) With the cocoa butter chopped up, I added it to my warm double boiler. You pour it into the dry metal mixing bowl, not the water! Don’t put your cocoa butter in the water or add water to the chocolate!
The cocoa butter will melt down in your boiler to a beautiful light golden oil (it looked suitable for cooking in, though I have no idea if it really is in practice.) I stirred it gently periodically to help it melt and check its texture to be sure it wasn’t overheating. Remember, you’re not trying to cook the stuff. Just melt it.
Once the cocoa butter has fully melted, add the cocoa powder and sugar. Note that you should not be using hot chocolate mix. When I say cocoa powder, I mean something like this:
Organic Cacao Powder
This is not the brand I’m using right now, but it’s an example of the same sort of product. You don’t have to use raw cacao; that’s just what I personally prefer flavorwise. (I find roasted and Dutched chocolate to be more bitter than raw chocolate, and as a supertaster I am quite sensitive to bitterness, hence I prefer the flavor of raw chocolate as a rule.) You can even use bars of baker’s chocolate or similar. It just needs to be 100% cocoa solids, with no added sugar or anything else.
I used powder so I could use raw chocolate, but for most people, baking chocolate is probably the least expensive decent-quality option. Ghirardelli and Baker’s both make decent baking chocolate. Not exceptional, but certainly tasty enough. If you’re using baking chocolate you will want to chop it and melt it in the double boiler with the cocoa butter. Otherwise, melt the cocoa butter and then stir in the cocoa powder.
How much cocoa powder and sugar to use depends on how dark and sweet you want the chocolate to be. A high-quality milk chocolate is about 30%-35% cacao solids, whereas a nice dark chocolate may be anywhere from 70% to 95%. If you use a cup of cocoa butter, a cup of cocoa solids, and a cup of sugar, you’ve made a roughly 33% blend which would be ideal for a good milk chocolate. (Note that adding milk will, naturally, reduce the proportion further; I therefore recommend adding extra cocoa powder if you want to maintain a roughly one-third ratio.)
Once you’ve mixed in the cocoa solids and sugar, stir them until they incorporate and form a thick paste. If it’s too hot, it won’t do this – it will just stay liquid. That’s OK so long as it’s not so hot that it’s actually separating. I left the milk out to be room temperature when I added it to the mix, but it was still cool enough compared to the mix that it lowered its temperature enough to start the paste formation. It also dissolved the sugar and eliminated the previously somewhat grainy texture the sugar was causing. (Some recipes call for powdered sugar and I see why now.)
I left the double boiler on the lowest heat setting on my stove (2) and stirred the paste with a slotted spoon until it was fully incorporated. At that point it looked like I had simply melted a bunch of chocolate bars in the bowl, and I knew I was almost done. I’m not going to go in-depth on tempering right now because I’m not an expert on it yet and I’m afraid I would get the details wrong, but long story short, tempering is a process of controlling the temperature of the chocolate and the rate at which it cools so that crystals form in the material in the correct way.
Basically, you want small crystals to form in the chocolate, which gives it that familiar hard but not crunchy texture we all know. Large crystals make a brittle, fragile chocolate that doesn’t snap off neatly but instead breaks into crumbs and bits. And if you overheat the chocolate the crystals melt completely and you have to temper it again. I’m not sure I did the tempering right – I’ll find out when the first bars and bonbons are done setting in the fridge – but I’m pretty sure I got it at least sort of right because the chocolate took on that beautiful silky-satiny shine. Tempering isn’t strictly necessary, but it makes for a nicer end result that’s more similar to storebought chocolate.
Once you’ve tempered the chocolate, just pour it into your molds and smooth them off with a knife or a spatula. I decided to sprinkle on/mix in some flavoring at this stage: those cherry and raspberry powders I mentioned earlier.
As you can see, I wasn’t too concerned with making them look smooth and perfect. :p I also forgot to tap the molds to get air bubbles out. Whoops! Oh well. Something to remember for next time. If you’re using additions like nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit bits, this is the time to add them, right at the end. You don’t want them to get cooked into the chocolate. Instead, mix it in right before the chocolate goes into the mold, or sprinkle it on afterward. (Or both. I did both, in this case.)
Finally, your molds go into the refrigerator. Depending on exactly how big/thick the pieces are, it may take more or less time, but it should be set after a few hours in the fridge. After that you can take out the molds, remove the chocolate, and you’re done! You have now officially made chocolate of your very own!
I’ll edit this answer with photos of my finished bars and bonbons when they come out of the fridge. For now I am enjoying licking the bowl.
EDIT: And it’s set and removed from the molds! I forgot to tap them to get the air bubbles out, so the look is definitely not “pro” yet, but it looks like I got the tempering more or less correct. They’re definitely not brittle or crumbly, in any event.
Actually, it’s magnificent, if not quite what I was intending to create. See, now I know why you use milk powder instead of liquid milk. I knew that, to make truffle centers, you use heavy cream. It did not occur to me that a small amount of whole milk could have a similar general effect as a large amount of heavy cream. So the result I got is rather soft. It’s not melting at room temperature, and the best of the bonbons even have a nice shiny almost-pro look to them. But it’s more like truffle filling than the sort of chocolate you’d put on the outside of the truffle, which is what I meant to make. But it’s so good that I really am not upset. XD I’ll just make more tomorrow without using the liquid milk so I can make full-blown truffles. I had been intending to try that anyhow.
The actual flavor and texture are divine. I mean, I’m really happy with how these turned out. The Criollo beans really shine here. Chocolate is technically a bitter flavor, but a fine chocolate like the raw Criollo beans offers a rich, complex, yet mellow warmth that I find pleasant. It doesn’t make me feel like I just got punched in the tongue like sharp, aggressive bitter flavors do (including low-quality chocolate.) I have a similar experience with coffee; a really nice pure arabica is smooth and mellow enough that I can drink it black, but most coffee is way too sharply and harshly bitter to be palatable to me. In general, I don’t do well with bitter flavors. But good chocolate is one of the rare exceptions.
The cocoa butter I got is also exceptionally good. I tried it before using it, expecting it to taste basically like white chocolate but without the sugar. I was blown away. Instead, I recognized a dark, deep, almost roasty flavor that I associate not with white chocolate but with the darkest of dark chocolates, the ones with the least sugar in them. I was very surprised and impressed by the depth, quality, and nature of the flavor of the cocoa butter by itself. (This was a revelation to me about the low quality of the cocoa butter often used to make white chocolate. I’ve never been a white chocolate fan, but now I actually want to make some with this cocoa butter just so I can experience what it can be like at its best.)
So the Criollo bean chocolate solids provide their rich, dark warmth as the baseline flavor, mixed into a smooth, firm-yet-soft texture that has an almost but not quite buttery mouthfeel and flavor (no doubt because I used whole milk). The pieces that have cherry or raspberry powder in them also offer a pleasant tang that suffuses the chocolate, and the occasional denser spot where the powder didn’t mix in as well, giving me a tiny morsel of chewy-fruity-sour for a change of pace. If this were commercial chocolate, I would happily and without complaint pay $5 per bar for it.
Here are the two bars that I stirred fruit powder into at the end. (I poured it into the mold, then poured the chocolate in over it and stirred it in, purposely leaving some in larger clumps.) The pure chocolate bar is shown at the top.
Funnily enough, the raspberry powder is darker-colored than the cherry powder. Since it’s tart cherries, I expected the cherry powder to be darker.
I am very pleased with how my first attempt at making chocolate turned out. Other than a couple of oopses, such as the liquid vs. powdered milk thing, forgetting to tap the air bubbles out after filling the molds, and accidentally letting the bonbon mold get warm on the stove while I was filling it, causing a couple of the bonbons to experience some separation/bloom, it went very well.
That’s the worst affected by the bloom/separation, but something tells me it’s going to taste great anyhow. A number of the others aren’t even affected.
Basically, all the mistakes I made are things that will be easy to fix in future batches going forward, and the result was a lot more edible and a lot closer to the manufactured product than I expected. I’ve had commercially made truffles whose filling was similar in texture and flavor to this stuff, actually. But mine is superior, especially in flavor, due to the very high quality of the ingredients I used, and the fact that my chocolate contains no preservatives or other additives that could even slightly change its flavor profile. It’s not that I’m especially good or anything, though. That’s my point. Anyone can do this.
So if you love chocolate, I highly recommend taking a shot at making your own. Not only does it mean you will always have chocolate to snack on, but you’ll get to enjoy tastier and more satisfying chocolate. It will be better for you to start with and you will probably eat less before feeling satisfied because it’s so rich. Pure cocoa powder is high in fiber and contains antioxidants, theobromine, and other healthful ingredients.
Later, when I get that heavy whipping cream, I’ll be experimenting with making truffles with flavored centers. 🙂 I want to try making milk chocolate truffles with creamy centers flavored with chai and other kinds of tea. And I want to melt some of the ruby chocolate I bought so I can make creamy fruit-powder-flavored centers and cover them in ruby chocolate to make ruby truffles. And I want to make dark chocolate with mint flavoring in it as well as or maybe instead of vanilla.
So many ideas.
I can’t wait to experiment and get good at this. Hooray for homemade chocolate!
EDIT II: I just realized where this soft, slightly buttery texture is familiar from. It reminds me strongly of the filling of Lindt truffles. The flavor is much darker, richer, warmer, and nowhere near as sweet (due to containing probably a third to a quarter as much sugar/sweetener as a Lindt truffle’s filling would in addition to the higher cacao content), but the texture is very similar.
EDIT III: Hurray! I’ve been experimenting, and if you use powdered sugar rather than normal sugar, there’s no gritty texture and you can temper it to a nice hard snap just like regular storebought chocolate. It does have a slight powderiness in this batch, but it’s all the freeze dried fruit powder I poured in.
I am so happy. You guys have no idea, seriously. I am making my own gourmet chocolate bars to my own tastes and preferences in my own little kitchen.
I got some new molds, too, and the bars peel out so nicely. Once you get this down, it’s actually really easy! I strongly encourage everyone who loves chocolate and cooking to try this. You don’t need a home conching machine, though if you’ve got the money and you want to make the investment, I’m sure it’s worth it. However, my bars are beautiful without it.
These contain 1 cup cocoa butter, 2/3rds cup Ecuadorian Criollo cocoa powder, 2/3rds cup powdered milk, 2/3rds cup powdered sugar, and a tablespoon or so of vanilla. This produces a sort of “dark milk chocolate” which is dark and rich and flavorful but also has the buttery dairy savor of milk chocolate. I also added freeze dried raspberry powder, freeze dried cherry powder, and freeze dried strawberry chunks. You simply can’t buy a bar like this. There aren’t any on the market. But I can make it!
