Let's try to start small and deal with chocolate paste, because the kids just love it. You can be sure that the family will appreciate your efforts. Of course, home-made chocolate paste is not a dietary dish at all, but it is much more useful than a store-bought one, as it only includes natural products. And you will be sure that it lacks flavorings, preservatives, thickeners, all kinds of dyes. You get a real and very tasty dessert. Such a delicacy as chocolate paste can be prepared according to a traditional recipe, as well as with various additives: hazelnuts, walnuts, marzipan, raisins, etc. - it all depends on your imagination. It is better to chop the nuts and trace them beforehand so that the shell does not get caught. This is the case if you are preparing a dessert
"nuts in chocolate." However, in the same way you can cook corn sticks or cookies and so on. In addition, chocolate paste is great to use as a glaze for different cakes or pastries. Pamper your children with a very, very tasty homemade treat. A good bonus for all your efforts will be significant cost savings. After all, chocolate
paste made with one's own hands is a very budget option. Among other things, this is a rather pleasant and completely onerous process, the result of which your family will gladly eat on both cheeks.
The ingredients necessary for making a dessert: half a liter of milk, two hundred grams of flour, four hundred grams of sugar, five tablespoons of cocoa, two hundred grams of butter, additives are everyone’s taste.
The recipe for homemade chocolate paste implies the presence of certain dishes necessary for the work: a three-liter pan, frying pan, glass, blender (preferably a mixer).
The flour must be pre-fried to a pale coffee color, stirring continuously. The oil should be soft, so it must be removed from the refrigerator in advance. If you add nuts or seeds, they must first be crushed.
Cooking process
We put a saucepan with milk on a small fire, add sugar to it, previously thoroughly mixed with cocoa. Stir constantly until the sand dissolves. It is not necessary to bring to a boil. Then we introduce the flour very slowly so that no lumps form. Then you need to beat the resulting mass with a mixer. Add oil at the very end. After it, only special additives.
Then we transfer the paste to a prepared jar in advance and put in the refrigerator. Serve on the table already chilled. When used in the form of a glaze, the product should be watered with still warm paste, and only then put them to harden.
Bon Appetit! Have a nice tea party!
