Chocolate can make everything better. But the question is can we make better chocolate? That too, at home?
The answer is - Yes. Aero or bubbly chocolate is a great and fun way to revamp chocolate at home. All you need is seven ingredients and twenty minutes and you have got yourself a bar of fancy chocolate that you made from scratch. Biting into this is like eating some sort of 'chocolate fudgy marshmallow meets a pillow'.
This is so easy to create, you’ll be making it every week and serving it parties and giving it away as gifts. Here is that recipe:
You’ll Need
130 g of dark compound chocolate
20 g of white powdered sugar
6 tbsp of Water
1/4 tsp of Citric Acid
1/8 tsp of baking soda
1/2 of espresso powder
Instructions
- Chop the chocolate roughly.
- Grease a chocolate silicone mould.
- In a blender add the chopped chocolate and blend until shaving size.
- To a pan, add the sugar. Let it dissolve and constantly stir to prevent lumps. Try to prevent it from browning and turning into caramel.
- Once it begins to bubble, add the citric acid and espresso powder.
- Bring off the heat and add the chocolate pieces. The smaller the size of the chocolate, the quicker it will melt.
- Add the baking soda and whisk it.
- Beat till a smooth mixture is formed and at this point, you should whip some air into the chocolate batter.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the mould and tap the mould to ensure it filled up all the area.
- Place the chocolate mould in the fridge to harden.
- Check after ten minutes, it should be done by then but if not you can stick it back in the fridge for an additional five minutes.
- Demould and serve.
Pro Tip: You can use any type of chocolate you like except white chocolate as it contains cocoa butter.
