Powder sugar using a mixer grinder. Measure and take 1 cup of it .
Sieve cocoa powder, powdered sugar and milk powder together .
See to that butter is in room temperature.
Grease chocolate mould or a deep plate for pouring the chocolate mix once it is done.
We are going to use double boiling method for preparing this chocolate.
For this we have to take a pan and fill it 3/4th with water. We have to place a bowl above that pan. When we boil water in the pan, the heat transfers to the bowl and thus things in the bowl gets cooked.
We are using this method, since chocolate requires only lower temperature for cooking.
Heat the pan which has water .when the bowl which is above the pan becomes hot, reduce the flame and add butter to the bowl.
After the butter has melted, add sieved dry ingredients in small instances and keep on stirring .
The mix will get thick in just seconds. Switch off the flame and transfer it to either greased moulds or plates.
If you are transferring to plates , cut it into required sizes using a greased knife before placing it in refrigerator.
Let it sit in fridge for 2 to 3 hours and your chocolates are ready to enjoy.
Taking exact measurement of ingredients is very essential in this recipe.
Since we are using butter, the chocolate mix will be thick only. If you want it to be free flowing ( so that easy to pour in moulds ) then you have to replace butter with same amount of coconut oil. But coconut oil smell will be there in chocolates. If you are using coconut oil, then see to that it is pure and hand pressed.
Since it's dark chocolate it will have slightly bitter taste. If you are looking for making milk chocolate use cocoa powder - 1/3 cup and milk powder - 3/4 cup in the above recipe.
