Distinguishing between cocoa powder and chocolate powder
Cocoa powder and chocolate powder are both made from cocoa beans, but they have many distinct characteristics:
- Cocoa powder, after being dried, roasted, and ground into powder from the beans of the cocoa tree, will have a brown color, a fairly strong and bitter taste.
- Chocolate powder, during production, will have milk, sugar, etc., added to it, and depending on the type of chocolate you use, the ratio of ingredients will vary. Chocolate powder comes in three colors: white, black, and brown, each with its own aroma, bitterness, and sweetness.
How to store chocolate sauce
- To maintain its delicious flavor, after cooking, you should pour the still warm chocolate sauce into a glass jar and tightly seal the lid. Wait until the sauce cools completely before putting it in the fridge refrigerator for preservation.
- When you want to use it, just take it out; if the sauce is too thick, you can put it in the microwave for about 10 – 20 seconds to melt it and it’s ready to use!
