Cadburys drinking chocolate...what to do with it? 1kg of the stuff

magnolia65

I have a huge tub of this in the cupboard and apart form the obvious of a hot drink, I wouldn't mind using it up in cooking.

Does anyone know of any recipes to add this to?

If anyone has any idea of experimenting with it too, I don't mind having a go and letting you know what goes.

Melt with golden syrup and butter, stir in cornflakes or rice crispies and make chocolate crispies. Much nicer than the ones that just use melted chocolate.

Or for a different take on the hot drink theme, mix with cornflour before adding hot milk and a dollop of honey for gloopy Spanish hot chocolate.

Oh blimey thanks squeaky..thats loads.

Spanish hot choclate sounds strange. I'll give it a go though.

Actually just took a quick look and most of those recipes are either cocooa powder or chocolate itself.

You can use the recipes for cocoa, just add less sugar and/or milk.

exlibris

MAke your normal cake recipe substituting 2oz of chocolate powder for 2oz of flour.

Drinking chocolate mixes are basically cocoa plus sugar plus milk powder, so you just need to reduce sugar in the recipe unless you have a sweet tooth

Also, if the recipe does call for cocoa, then you should actually add a bit MORE of your chocolate powder to get the right amount of cocoa in there.

Done it

I popped out late this afternoon and bought a plastic lidded microwave pudding dish.

Whisked up all together...

75g SR flour
50g Drinking chocolate
50g caster sugar
2 tbsp corn oil
2 eggs
approx 2/3 tbsp milk

poured this mixture into plastic tube
placed some chocolate chips I had left in the centre of the mixture then microwaved for about 3/4 minutes (didn't time it exactly will next time)

Blimey it was good although I needed more chocolate chips in the centre and they need covering more with mixture and it definitely needs chocolate custard on it

Wasn;t very airy so next time may tamper with the eggs...maybe whisk the whites seperately and fold in the other ingredients.
