Ingredients Roasted Almond Chocolates:

  • 1/2 cup cocoa butter
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup castor sugar or finely powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon roasted almonds & raisins

Notes:

  • If you want to make a pure dark chocolate, reduce the quantity of sugar.
  • If you want to make pure milk chocolate, skip cocoa powder & increase the quantity of milk. powder.
  • You can vanilla essence to it to give it an additional flavor, but  I have skipped it here to retain the original flavors of cocoa butter & cocoa powder.
  • You can use coconut oil instead of cocoa butter to make this recipe.
  • I have used less amount of sugar & milk powder to keep it less sweet and more of a dark chocolate. You can vary according to your taste & choice.
  • Preferably use unsweetened cocoa powder for this recipe. In case you are uing sweetened cocoa, then reduce the quantity of sugar.
  • These chocolates can be stored in the refrigerator for around 3-4 months.
  • I have used home roasted almonds and raisins. 

How to roast almonds & raisins: 

  • Take a kadhai and add whole almonds & raisins in it. Keep stirring & sautéing on a low flame to avoid burning  for 5-10 minutes
  • After 10 minutes, almonds will turn crunchy & aromatic and raisins will become a bit darker in color. Turn off the heat and take out the nuts from the kadhai. Roasted dry fruits are ready.

Recipe:

1. Take a double boiler for which, take 1 cup of water in a pan and bring it to boil.
