Homemade Milk Chocolate

I am a very chocolatey person and there are times when I just crave chocolate. So I make myself some rich, creamy sinfully delicious milk chocolate fudge in just a few minutes. Soft and fudgy deliciousness in every bite!

It’s quite simple to make chocolate at home. You just have to boil water and sugar together till a one string consistency, add butter, cocoa and milk powder and stir to a smooth chocolatey mixture, add chopped nuts and flavouring, pour into a pan to set. Cool, cut, and indulge!

You can experiment with different flavours like vanilla, almond, cinnamon or espresso. Stir in pecans, almonds, pistachios, cashewnuts or even crushed Oreos. Roll the chocolates in cocoa powder, coconut flakes, coloured sprinkles or finely chopped nuts!

Homemade chocolates are the perfect gifts in the festive season. Wrap the irresistible confections in coloured foil or arrange in beautiful gift boxes to give away to family and friends.

Homemade Milk Chocolate Recipe:

Chocolate fudge holds a special place in the heart of most chocoholics. The tempting little sweets literally explode with intensely chocolatey flavour. This easy choco fudge recipe is just brilliant, works out great and tastes amazing! You can easily adapt this easy sweet recipe to suit your taste.

  • To make homemade chocolate, firstly measure out all the ingredients and keep them on hand. You need to work fast.
  • Heat about ¾ tbsp. oil in a pan. Fry cashews till golden brown. Remove onto a plate and set aside to cool. Chop the cashews into small pieces. Set aside.

  • Grease a pan with butter and keep aside.
  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the sugar dissolves completely, stir over low heat.

  • Allow the syrup to simmer till the sugar syrup begins to thicken and reaches one string consistency. This is very crucial stage for making perfect homemade chocolate.

  • If you take a drop of syrup between you thumb and forefinger and try to stretch it, a thin string forms – if it doesn’t, you have to simmer the sugar syrup for some more time.

  • Next stir in the butter. Mix well till the butter melts and blends with the sugar syrup. Then turn off the gas.

  • Then drizzle 1-2 drops of vanilla essence.

  • After this, mix in cocoa powder.

  • Then add cashewnuts to the batter.

  • Stir vigorously.

  • Finally, add the milk powder and stir like crazy till all the ingredients are nicely incorporated and you get a thick smooth mixture.

  • Pour the chocolate concoction into the greased pan. It sets pretty quickly and you have to spread it fast.

  • Smooth the top of the choco fudge with the back of a greased spoon. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly (10-15 minutes) at room temperature and then place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

  • Remove from refrigerator and then cut into pieces. This is a soft but firm choco fudge and will hold its shape when you cut it.

  • Enjoy delicious Chocolate Fudge! Store the fudge in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator.
