How do you make chocolate ice cream without seizing?

June 9th, 2010 by admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Asnwers

I’ve tried making chocolate sorbet and chocolate ice cream. Whenever I add the cream or milk to the chocolate, it seizes. So I stir and stir and stir for a very long time and it looks smooth with small chunks. But then I make the ice cream and it isn’t smooth at all. Please help. I’m trying to make it for a birthday party.

How do you make colored chocolate?

May 26th, 2010 by admin | 4 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

Guys, how do you make colored chocolate? I read that you can make food paint by mixing cocoa butter with powdered food color then mixing them in white chocolate. Is there a substitute for cocoa butter coz that’s hard to find in our grocery store here in the philippines… will vegetable shortening do or is that going to ruin the taste of the chocolate? Any other way that I can make colored chocolate without having to buy the expensive oil-based food color sold online? Thanks!

How do you make delicious chocolate from scratch?

May 26th, 2010 by admin | 3 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I recently created my own recipe for making something using Hershey’s chocolate. I don’t want to use their chocolate anymore, I am interested in creating my own recipe for chocolate. I just wouldn’t know where to start. Maybe even if someone can tell me how to make Hershey’s chocolate recipe, to get a good basis on how to make good chocolate.

How do you make purple chocolate chip cookies?

May 19th, 2010 by admin | 7 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I know this sounds random, but I’m planning on making them for my friend’s birthday present.
(it’s an inside joke) I want to make the dough purple and have regular chocolate chip cookies.
Should I just add food coloring to the cookie dough? And how much should I put if I’m making 12 cookies?
Sorry, I meant to say I want to have regular chocolate chips

How do I make a nice cup of hot chocolate?

May 18th, 2010 by admin | 9 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I was recently on a Carnival Cruise and discovered that they had really amazing hot chocolate. It tasted a lot better compared to the stuff I make from the Nestle mix I’ve got here at home, although it might be that I’m just really bad at making hot chocolate.

Either way, does anybody know either what mix they use over at Carnival or how to make some hot chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate?

I really want to make brownies but all I have in the house is a chocolate cake mix (and the ingredients needed to make it). Does anybody know how I could adjust the ingredients to make brownies instead of a cake? Is it even possible?

Where can I find chocolate liquor?

May 16th, 2010 by admin | 5 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I know that choclate liquor has no alcohol – it is made from the grinding of the cacao bean. But where do I find it? I have a recipe that calls for chocolate liquor and I’m not sure where to find it. Or can I melt unsweetend chocolate (which is made from choclate liquor and cocoa butter) as a substitute?
The recipe is for mini bundt cakes – and the chocolate liqueur is for the chocolate glaze that goes over the cakes once their done.
It is called chocolate liqueor (sp) even though it has no alcohol – it is what chocolate starts out as. It is the ground up meat of the cacao bean – when you add cocoa butter you get unsweetened chocolate.
this is what chocolate liquor is:
Chocolate liquor, also known as cocoa liqour and cocoa massis, is a smooth liquid form of chocolate. It is produced by taking cocoa beans that have been fermented, dried, roasted, and separated from their shells and grinding their center, the cotyledon. The chocolate liquor can then be cooled and molded into blocks known as unsweetened baking chocolate. The liquor and blocks contain roughly 53 percent cocoa butter. Despite its name, chocolate liquor contains no alcohol.
