LOW SUGAR MILK CHOCOLATE

Homemade sugar-free milk chocolate is a great way to satisfy your inner chocoholic— without diving into unhealthy sugar and additives. Just be sure to choose milk powder that contains as little milk sugar as possible. This scaled-back recipe makes just 4 ounces (115 g) of chocolate, so double or triple the ingredients if you’re planning to serve a bigger crowd. 

LOW SUGAR MILK CHOCOLATE

Servings: 8

Ingredients

Instructions

    1. Sift the milk powder, erythritol, dark cocoa powder, and salt into a small bowl. (Sifting removes any lumps.) Set aside. 
    2. Melt the cocoa butter in a small saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave oven in thirty-second spans. Be careful not to let the cocoa butter boil. Add the cocoa butter and vanilla stevia to the cocoa powder mixture and stir well until the mixture is smooth and the erythritol has dissolved. Heat in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat if the mixture looks grainy. Pour the mixture into preferred chocolate molds and place it in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours to set. 
    3. When done, store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week. 

    TIP: For even lower-sugar milk chocolate (and a vegan, dairy-free version), replace the milk powder with sugar-free coconut milk powder. 

    NOTE: Don't omit the salt—it’s a must. Salt adds a decadent note to the sweet chocolate and rounds out the flavors. Salt is a mandatory ingredient in just about every recipe that calls for chocolate.
