Hello and welcome to Todd's kitchen. A while ago i made compound chocolate. Now i don't really know anyone
who has not tried chocolate
it is so delicious
But ever since i made that video i have had so many people ask me to make
white chocolate
So join me today as i make my version and the proper way to make white chocolate
Im going to start of by explaining our first ingredient and our main ingredient which is
raw cocoa butter which is also referred to as cacao powder
Now this won't be available in every shop, i was about to find this in my local health
food store but if you can't find it there just google it and im sure you will find a stockist.
So next we are going to do whats called a double boiler. So i have a pot of water
on the stove and it has a low water level simmering away
and on top of that place a metal bowl. So the idea of having a low
water simply that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the base
Because if it is touching the base what it will do is burn the chocolate.
So into the bowl place in our cocoa butter
and using a metal or rubber spoon or whisk
continue to stir it until it is completely melted.
just make sure you don't use a wooden spoon
otherwise it could contain moisture, if moisture gets into cocoa butter
it'll just ruin it and you will have to start all over again
The cocoa butter is now melted
into that we are going to sift in our icing sugar, also referred to as
powered sugar
and just as we are shifting it
stir it through at the same time
once mixed through add in half a teaspoon of milk powder
You can also use soy powder if you choose
Now people will be asking if they need to use milk powder and the simple answer is yes, yes you do
because quite honestly that's exactly how its made
from the commercial stuff you buy from the shops
and finally add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
and mix it through
now as one final step add a pinch of salt
and what they will do is enhance that lovely chocolate flavor
so now we are going to use a mould
personally I'm using a mini cupcake holder
but you can use any type of mold that you like
uh... decorative moulds non decorative moulds
even cupcake rappers will do so i'm using this because im just making some round
disks. Its just a simple matter with some cooking spray oil
just grease
just the inside
this won't effect the chocolates what so ever
so all we have to do now is just gently
pour some of our mixture into the cup holders.
Once done we are going to leave it at room temperature and leave it
for two hours simply because we don't want it to cool down to fast and after
two hours place it in the fridge for another hour and it will
completely set.
i have taken them out of the fridge and they have popped right out of the molds very
easily
and they are done. Look at those.
lovely lovely
white chocolate chips. Now as i said you can use any mould that you like
You don't have to make these round ones of course so pretty much the sky's the limit
for how you want these to turn out
but lets see how they taste
now thats
thats really good
it tastes just like the white chocolate you buy from the shops. It has a little bit of
a hint of vanilla but it works perfectly with these
white chocolate chips
Of course you don't have to add the vanilla you can choose a different flavour
strawberry for example
you can make strawberry flavoured white chocolate. But no matter what flavour you choose
This white chocolate defiantly does taste simply delicious
Another thing i love about making it at home is you know exactly what goes in it
So theres no artificial colours flavours or preservatives.
So if you love white chocolate then give this a go because i know you're going to love it.
