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


  1. Chop the chocolate roughly.
  2. Grease a chocolate silicone mould.
  3. In a blender add the chopped chocolate and blend until shaving size.
  4. 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. 
  5. Once it begins to bubble, add the citric acid and espresso powder.
  6. Bring off the heat and add the chocolate pieces. The smaller the size of the chocolate, the quicker it will melt.
  7. Add the baking soda and whisk it. 
  8. Beat till a smooth mixture is formed and at this point, you should whip some air into the chocolate batter.
  9. Pour the chocolate mixture into the mould and tap the mould to ensure it filled up all the area. 
  10. Place the chocolate mould in the fridge to harden.
  11. 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.
  12.  Demould and serve.
    Pro Tip: You can use any type of chocolate you like except white chocolate as it contains cocoa butter.
