Homemade Chocolate Recipes

Homemade chocolate recipes provide the chocolate lovers not only with a vast variety of choices for delicious, mouthwatering dessert but also with flexibility to substitute some of the ingredients so they will have an enjoyable eating experience while having a healthy dessert.

Chocolate… healthy?

It’s not a secret that chocolate eating is associated with a feeling of guilt - guilt of blowing out weight loss diet or eating unhealthy food.

Well, I have good news. The main ingredient of pure (dark) chocolate, cocoa, actually contains lots of vitamins and minerals.

I don’t think I need to convince anybody to eat chocolate but in case you think it is unhealthy addition to your diet here are some details:

- Among other vitamins and minerals cocoa contains B group vitamins, vitamin E and magnesium. Just do a quick search on the Internet to see the major benefits of these nutrients.

- A research in the United States showed that cocoa contains more anti-oxidants than green tea and red wine!

- Cocoa contains L-Tryptophan that improves the mood and hence can help combat cravings for unhealthy food.

- Cocoa butter is widely used as a cosmetics base in natural and “not-so-natural’ cosmetics industries because of nourishment it provides for the skin.

In order to see the weight loss benefits of chocolate you need to eat a small piece of dark chocolate daily, no more than 200 g per week.

Unfortunately many ready-made chocolate products are very low on cocoa so they actually do not provide any of the benefits mentioned above. They also contain lots of sugar and need to be avoided if you care about your health and healthy weight.

You need to choose chocolate products that contain over 65% of cocoa in order to see the health benefits of cocoa.

Why to make your own chocolate desserts at home?

1) As I already mentioned, homemade chocolate recipes provide you with flexibility to choose your own ingredients and replace some of “not so healthy” ones with healthier alternatives.
Here is a list of ingredients for one recipe, for example:

Chocolate Ice-Cream

2 ½ quarts of cream
1 ½ pint of milk
1 quart thin cream,
2 cupfuls of sugar,
2 ounces of plain chocolate bar,
2 eggs,
2 heaping tablespoonfuls of flour

To make this dessert healthier use dark chocolate, for example, substitute some of the cream with milk, reduce sugar and add vanilla to improve taste. I never tried it with whole wheat flour but this might work too! Imagine the title “Whole-wheat ice-cream for weight loss and health”!

2) You can make your favorite dessert without any preservatives, colorings or other artificial elements added.

3) You can use your creativity and make exquisite desserts for the entire family that will bring your whole family together to enjoy food prepared with love and care.

4) Making chocolate desserts at home will also fill your house with homey, “cozy” aroma that will make the place you live a real Home.

Chocolate Recipes, You Gotta Love ‘Em!

Chocolate recipes help you create sweets in a great variety of forms and kinds of taste. Chocolate truffles, for example, have the flexibility to be able to be coated in various flavors of chocolate, sprinkled with nuts or flavored using any liqueur or extract. One of my most loved recipes to have or make is the milk chocolate praline truffle. I use a praline liqueur for flavoring the chocolate and then I roll the truffle in some pecan brittle that I have crushed.

Chocolate Truffles make grand gifts for any person at anytime. There are many mixtures of packages that chocolate gifts come in so you ought to be able to find one just right for the event or friend for which you are trying to purchase something.

You have probably heard of the “cacao bean”, or as it is sometimes called the “cocoa bean”, well this is the nut from which chocolate comes. This ‘bean’ or nut is the nut of a particular fruit that grows on a specific tree, originally from the Amazon jungle. Chocolate, long ago, was a symbol of wealth, and luxury.

Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits are from flavonoids. The flavonoids of this plant are generally recognized for their antioxidant properties and activities. Chocolate contains the same antioxidant chemicals (phenols) as wine. Many people enjoy drinking wine while eating chocolate.

I have found that in each place or country throughout the world where it is made, it is a distinctly unique product. French and Belgian chocolates have a distinctly different taste from each other, as do Swiss or U.S. chocolates. The best one for you to use will be based on your individual choice and on the recipes you plan to make.

Chocolate recipe lovers everywhere have been viewing the studies showing dark chocolate as having certain health benefits with excitement. These studies have inspired some dietitians to promote chocolate as contributing to a healthy diet. Chocolates should be sampled in order of increasing cocoa content or boldness of flavor, and, even though chocolate is best stored between 61 and 64 degrees, it should always be tasted at room temperature.

Bars that are made with very little flavoring or pure chocolate bars are your best choice. So you don’t need to feel guilty when you enjoy some dark chocolate, because research has shown that you might actually be providing some small service to your health.

All chocolate lovers, when preparing recipes, need to keep in mind that chocolate scorches easily and must be treated gently. When making any chocolate recipe, always melt the chocolate slowly over low heat in a double boiler over simmering water, or in a bowl in the microwave at 50 percent power or on the defrost setting. Chocolate recipes, you gotta love ‘em.

There is so much said about what we should and should not eat. One thing that gives chocolate an air of the forbidden is the myth surrounding it, that it tastes so good it must be bad for your health. Chocolate recipes have been used for centuries to make some of the most popular sweet-tasting treats in the world. Chocolate can be healthy - if kept in moderation. Eating too much of the good stuff (as with all good stuff) can lead to obesity, which causes more health problems than all the chocolate recipes in the world could combat. Chocolate lovers however, seem willing to pay the price for their vice.

Chocolate makes a nice treat for your taste buds and is a favorite gift for special occasions. You can form it into various sizes and shapes by pouring it into molds and then cooling it until it becomes solid. These shapes could include hollow shells, solid blocks, chocolate bars or even shells that can be filled with a sugary confection material. Typically when chocolate bars and some other molded items are produced, it is done with a molding process that produces a product having fine surface details as well as a high gloss or shine.

Some of you may find this hard to believe, but research is constantly proving that not only is chocolate one of the healthiest foods you can eat, but is also considered a super food. Chocolate recipes for candy however, create a confection that is loaded with refined sugar. Chances are that these types of chocolate also have a high fat content because these confectionery type items contain a lot of milk fat along with hydrogenated oils. Chocolate can be a trap. It can result in guilt. It is a fabled and much loved food. It causes extreme reactions in people; some people even label themselves chocoholics!

However, chocolate and Chocolate Recipes For Chocolate Lovers have been around for quite a long time now and many people are still devoted to eating chocolate. Besides, it is hard to deny the fact that chocolate and chocolate recipes make very delicious treats that make almost everybody a chocolate lover.

In my book Chocolate Recipes For Chocolate Lovers, I have tried to put together and organize the most complete listing of Chocolate Recipes in all categories that I could find. I am sure you will love the number of quality recipes that you will find.

Taste These Interesting Facts and Health Benefits of Chocolate

I remember when I first learned that chocolate has some health benefits. I could not believe that chocolate contains antioxidants.

They have sent years and thousands of dollars researching the health benefits. Eating chocolate on a regular basis will help lower the chance of getting cancer and heart disease. The antioxidants will also lower your LDL cholesterol.

Chocolate will also add beneficial iron, and magnesium to your body. Learning these interesting facts about chocolate has been a lot of fun. Looking up these facts can be a terrific way to pass the time. The downside is that, I often find myself looking up more interesting facts about chocolate than I do studying for an upcoming test. I can not believe that the chip was not introduced until 1939.

Nestle was the first company to introduce the chocolate chip. Which are still the most popular chocolate chip used in most chocolate chip cookie recipes. I also have a hard time believing that the first, milk chocolate bar was not introduced to consumers until 1938.

Believe it or not Nestle was also the first to bring this bar to market. Bring these different chocolate formats to market contributed to the overall, chocolate consumption. Americans consume a large amount of chocolate on a regular basis; however, they consume less than most Europeans consume, especially the Swiss.

Americans consume 2.8 billion pounds of candy a year. This is split between candy and chocolate. When you think of the amount of chocolate this equates too, you may not want to know all of the interesting facts about chocolate.

Do not let this fact scare you away, chocolate is still great! Did you know that the term white chocolate is a misnomer? There is absolutely no chocolate in white chocolate. In order to be classified as chocolate, you need to have some chocolate in your product.

If you are one of those individuals watching your caffeine intake, you do not necessarily have to give up chocolate. Chocolate has less caffeine in it than tea. This is a great fact for most chocolate lovers. The best fact out of them all is that there is scientific proof that chocolate does not cause acne, nor does it make acne worst.

These are all old wives tales, to get you to stop eating chocolate. Shame on them for telling us these tales!
Let’s eat!

Chocolate Recipes Have Changed Over the Years

Chocolate making is somewhat of a tedious business. Chocolate recipes, as they say, sometimes have bittersweet endings. Hence making chocolate is not an easy job and needs an expertise which comes only through experience.

The process of chocolate making is very lengthy one. First of all ripe cocoa bean pods are cut from the cocoa tree, split opened and the pulp inside it is scraped out. This pulp is then fermented for few days and the dried seeds are separated from the remainder of the pulp.

The seeds that are separated from the pulp are used by the chocolate manufacturers. At the processing mill the seeds are thoroughly cleaned to remove any of the remaining foreign particles in it. These seed are then roasted in order to loosen the husks and then are virtually blown in a processor. The final task it to break the inner kernel of the seeds. These broken bits are called nibs. From this point onward the process of chocolate making takes different paths. What is done with these nibs decides the nature of the final product.

If the nibs are ground under heavy stone mills the nibs release oil which transforms the whole mass into what is called as chocolate liquor. Chocolate liquor is a quite thick substance which when hardened produces the bitter chocolate that is commonly used in most of baking and candy making chocolate recipes. Sweet chocolate is produced from the bitter chocolate by adding additional substances like fat, sugar, and cocoa butter.

Cocoa butter is essentially a byproduct of cocoa making process. While grinding the nibs the fat that results from the process is separated from rest of the mass. This fat is called cocoa butter. This is the main ingredient of the all sweet chocolate products. This butter has cosmetic and therapeutic uses also. When the cocoa butter is removed the remaining mass produces cocoa after fine grounding.

Whatever process is now used to make chocolate has evolved over the centuries. The process has undergone a sea of changes. The refined process of chocolate making is the result of number of experiments. The taste of prepared products has played a pivotal role in the changing process of chocolate making.

In past the process of chocolate making was very different from the process that is adopted now. Cocoa, which is a drink, is the mother of chocolate making. The Aztecs prepared their famous drink by crushing the cocoa beans. They boiled the crushed beans with water and different spices and seasoned with pepper. They served this drink cold. Afterwards Spanish stole the process of chocolate making from the Aztecs. For the sake of taste, they replaced the spices in chocolate making by equal amount of sugar and added water prior to boiling. Spaniards successfully guarded this sweet success of making chocolate for nearly 100 years until a Frenchman successfully discovered the secret of sweet chocolate making. What happened then onwards is history.

The chocolate recipes have come a long way. The process of chocolate making which refined over the years has attained the status of an art. Years of toiling for chocolate making has finally bore sweet fruits.

Chocolate is something people love, and what better gift to give someone than those hand made truffles and chocolate delights. The problem is which one should you aim for? The best solution is to be part of a tasting club, where you can sample different chocolates. http://www.mychocolateblog.com is a great site to get tips and recipes for your favourite food, chocolate.
