How to make chocolate cream at home

  • last year
Chocolate cream is a dream-come-true dessert for many sweet-toothed people. It is creamy and sweet, and can be used in a variety of ways – for hot chocolate, cakes, puddings, cupcakes, truffles and many more. Making it at home is easy and a great way to indulge in this treat without spending on expensive ready-made stuff. Here’s how you can make it in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Before you begin, make sure to have cocoa powder, icing sugar, butter, cream, espresso powder (optional), and chocolate shavings (optional) on hand.

First, heat your cream in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. As it is heating, add in the cocoa powder, icing sugar, butter, espresso powder (if desired) and mix until everything is dissolved. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the texture thickens and becomes a bit sticky.

Once done, pour the mixture into a bowl or a container, add in your chocolate shavings (if desired) and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until the mixture solidifies.

Your chocolate cream is now ready to use – spread it on cakes, cupcakes, muffins or anything you like. You can even use it for making chocolates at home. This mixture can be reused, and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

Making chocolate cream at home is much easier than it looks. So the next time your sweet tooth craves for some chocolatey goodness, just make your own and have a great time indulging in this creamy delight.
