Hello, welcome to Nishamadhulika.com.
Today we will make Dry Fruit Chocolate bark .
Chocolate and dry fruits combination is very delightful and it is very tasty
and we can also call it Dry fruit chocolate chikki.
Lets see what ingredients we will require for making Dry fruit chocolate bark.
We have taken 180 grams white compound and 375 grams of dark compound.
Half a cup of raisins
half cup of cashew nuts
half a cup of ground nuts
two table spoon pistachio nuts
First of all we will chop all the dry fruits to make them ready.
We will cut one peice of cashew nut into 3 to 4 bits /parts
Now we have the cashew nuts,ground nuts and pistachio nuts all finely chopped
and we have cleaned and rinsed the raisins.
Now, we will roast the dry fruits.
To roast the dryfruits we will put them in the microwave oven for 1 minute.
Its been 1 minute and we will take out the dry fruit tray.
Dry fruits should be roasted very lightly just to moisture it.
Now the dry fruits are ready.
And now we will melt the chocolate.
To melt the chocolate we will chop the white compound like this
We can chop the chocolate into as small peices as we can
because if the peices are small , the chocolate melts easily.
Put the white compound in a bowl.
In the same way we will chop the dark compound.
Dark compound is now chopped .We will put it in a bowl.
The chocolate is all ready and now we will melt it
We can do it in two ways
either on the double burner stove or in the microwave oven.
We have melted the chocolate in the double boiler
to melt it into moulded chocolate.
You can check our website for further details to boil in the double boiler.
Now we will melt the chocolate in the microwave oven.
We have kept our chocolates in the microwave safe bowl.
First of all we will melt the dark compound the microwave oven for 1 minute.
Chocolates should never be microwaved for a long time
because chocolates are very sensitive towards heat.
We are going to microwave our chocolate for 1 minute
because our chocolate quantity is bit more than usual
but if the quantity is less we can microwave for 30 seconds.
If the chocolate is melted even for little more time
the chocolate burns instead of melting.
So, we will melt the chocolate just for a little time.
1 minute is over, take out the bowl.
Now the chocolate has started to melt in just 1 minute time.
Stir it up properly
if not melted properly put it in the microwave for 10 seconds more.
The weather also effects the melting of chocolate
if its winters melt your chocolate for 1 to 2 minutes
but in summers chocolates melts properly in only 1 minutes.
Now, the chocolate is very smooth
and there's no need of microwaving it again.
The dark chocolate is microwaved
so now we will microwave the white chocolate for 40 seconds.
Stir the chocolate and let it cool.
It can't be used when too hot.
Chocolate can be sensitive towards heat and water too.
If your spoon or bowl is not dry while your'e using to mix the chocolate
then it might not be good in taste or can be spoiled.
Now the white chocolate has melted properly, you can see how smooth it is.
Both the chocolate is ready to make chocolate bark.
Take a tray for the chocolate bark and place a same sized sheet of butter paper upon it.
Pour some thin lines of dark chocolate on the butter paper.
We scrape it very unevenly and a very thin layer is spreaded .
Leave it for 2 minutes for it to set properly.
Pour thick layers of white chocolate upon the chocolate spread.
Spread it across the tray with the scraper make a thin & equal layer.
Then put another thick layer of dark chocolate on the tray
Spread the chocolate and make it even on each side.
Now, put some dry fruit upon the chocolate layers.
Put cashew nuts, ground nuts and pistachio nusts.
After this we are going to put this in the freezer for 10 minutes
Now our Dry fruit chocolate bark is ready.
Remove the butter paper
Now, we will break in into peices
You can break it into,as big or small peices as you want to.
Now, a very nice dry fruit chocolate bark is ready.
We have used cashew nuts, raisins, pistachio nuts and ground nuts.
And just not that we can also use almonds, charoli seeds and dried coconut
Or whatever dry fruit is available with us we can use that.
