cooking with chocolate

When people cook, they often prefer to use chocolate bars in their desserts rather than make it from scratch or use a cocoa powder mix. Chocolate provides the chef with a thicker consistency and stronger flavor.

Sometimes it is not necessary to cook the chocolate to achieve the perfect dish. Cakes and desserts like mint crunch tart don’t require melted chocolate on the top layer. All you need to do is break or grate the mint chocolate over the top of the dessert without being stingy.

Chocolate Fudge Squares are a delicious dessert that will suit anyone’s taste buds. Add chocolate chunks to the fudge mixture and cook until completely melted. Once melted you can add the hot mixture to a square tray and freeze it until set. You can then serve these squares to your family and friends. Once they try these chocolate squares, you will definitely get a smile.

Are you making cupcakes or cookies? You can place a piece of chocolate in the mixture once placed on a tray. You can then cover the chocolate with a little more batter and then place it in the oven. This gives your family and friends an extra gift within the gift.

Chocolate croissants will be appreciated by the person who prefers a little sweetness in their breakfast. There isn’t a lot of additional preparation before placing a batch of croissants in the oven. Add a couple of chocolate chunks to the raw dough before rolling it out, and before you know it, you’ll have delicious chocolate croissants.

Cupcakes can sometimes be boring for the pastry chef. To add some excitement to the pound cake, melt chocolate bars and pour over your favorite cakes. You may need to put it in the fridge before serving to allow the frosting to set and create a professional cake. If you bake cakes frequently, you may want to consider getting the ingredients in bulk from your cash-and-carry wholesaler.

You can also make frosting out of chocolate bars. Of course, you’ll need to melt it and add oil or milk before adding it to the buttercream frosting, but it will taste delicious on cupcakes or the tri-tier cake. It will also solidify with the buttercream frosting because chocolate tends to solidify once cold.

Tired of using sugar water to glue sugar decorations to fondant? Just use melted chocolate to glue decorations to your cake. Note that although this is more flavorful and delicious, it won’t work for lighter colored cakes because the brown chocolate will show through easily. In this case, you could use white chocolate.
