1, cocoa drinks
Cocoa powder can be directly added with water as a drink, but most of the time, it is better to soak milk, soybean milk, milk oats and nuts with cocoa powder.
2. Chocolate
Sift cocoa powder and milk powder, and fully stir and mix the two powders evenly. Melt all the butter in water, pour in the white sugar and stir until the sugar is completely melted. Pour cocoa milk powder, stir it into a paste-like framed flower bag, and cut a hole at the front end. Squeeze the chocolate paste into the mold and put it in the refrigerator for about 5 hours.
3. Chocolate sauce
Stir the milk with water and cocoa powder, then heat it with whipped cream and butter until it melts. At the same time, add maltitol solution. If sugar control is not needed, add white sugar, pour it into a pot and heat it with fire. Cook and stir slowly with low heat until the bottom of the pot can be scratched and covered immediately. Put it in a sealed bowl or bottle and the chocolate sauce will be ready.
Method of purchasing cocoa powder
1 Look at the color: the color of natural cocoa powder should be light brown. For brown or even dark brown natural cocoa powder, cocoa husk or other food pigments must be added. The color of alkalized cocoa powder should be brownish red. If it is dark brown or brownish black, it must be caused by excessive alkalization and excessive ash content.
2. Smell: The smell of natural cocoa powder is a natural cocoa fragrance and a faint fragrance. Cocoa powder with strong aroma or burnt taste is of poor quality. The smell of alkalized cocoa powder should be normal cocoa smell, and its aroma is stronger than that of natural cocoa powder, but it has no burnt smell. If the aroma of alkalized cocoa powder is too strong or burnt, it is of poor quality.
3, touch fineness: take a small amount of cocoa powder on white paper, gently fold and wipe with your hands. Powder with fineness above 99 will be evenly distributed on the paper, while powder with fineness less than 99 will have a poor feeling and uneven distribution.
4. Look at the fat content: take a little cocoa powder and put it in the palm of your hand, and rub your hands together. Those with high fat content will have obvious greasy feeling, while those with low fat content will not be obvious. If the fat content is above 10%, this method will be very good. If the fat content is below 8%, there is basically no greasy feeling.
