Cooking With Chocolate

When people cook, they often prefer to use chocolate bars in their desserts rather than making it from scratch or using a cocoa powder mix. The 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 crisp cake don’t require melted chocolate on top. 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 pieces to fudge mixture and cook until completely melted. Once melted you can add the hot mixture to a square tray and freeze it until it sets. You can then serve these squares to your family and friends. Once they try these chocolate squares, you will definitely receive 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 his breakfast. There’s not a lot of extra preparation before you put a batch of croissants in the oven. Add a couple of chocolate chunks to the raw dough before you roll it up, 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 cake, melt chocolate bars and pour it over your favorite cakes. You may need to put it in the fridge before serving to let the frosting set and create a professional looking cake. If you bake cakes frequently, you may want to consider getting the ingredients in bulk from your cash and carry wholesale.

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 a three-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? Simply use melted chocolate to stick decorations to your cake. Note that while this is tastier and more 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.
