L’extrait de chocolat ne donne pas seulement à vos produits de boulangerie un goût de chocolat. Cela peut en fait donner à vos recettes le goût de toutes les saveurs que le cacao *avait* (au passé !) avant d'être transformé en chocolat ou en poudre de cacao. La profondeur de saveur que vous obtenez avec l’ajout d’extrait de chocolat est splendide. L'une des charmantes membres de notre groupe Facebook privé, Making Vanilla Extract by VanillaPura, nommée Denise, a publié cette semaine son extrait de chocolat. Nous sommes très heureux de le partager dans ses propres mots.
Ingrédients:
- 1 tasse de grué de cacao biologique Navitas
- 8 onces. Rhum blanc Bacardi
Mettre tous les deux ingrédients dans une bouteille et agiter.
La durée d'extraction est de 3 mois. Apprécier!

8oz to 8oz ratio…. Crush about 2oz and then put all in Jar with 80proof alcohol.
Place in dark place and shake one a week. 3 months, strain nibs out and replace with 8oz on new ones.. don’t forget to crush 2oz, first. Place back on shelf and shake once a week for 3 more months.. Taste if chocolatey enough then strain and use as an extract in a recipe. If not, start the process again for another 3mos or until you get the desired taste you are looking for…
Where can I find the answers to all these questions about Denise’s chocolate extract? Please help. Roast? Change out?
A few questions…Does this need to be shaken every week or month? Does it need to be in a dark area? What will the end product look like, should all the nibs be dissolved? How much do you use at a time, Cake? Cookies? etc….. TY Lori
I made this but it had a scum on the top is this common?
Where can I find the answers to these questions that everyone posted?
Wanted to give this a try. Can someone tell me how to prepare nibs. If you did different ways, what ones worked? Love this idea!
I’m making this today with a mixture of vodka and Everclear. It should be ready at Christmas!
So, 1 cup of each?
8 Oz is the same as a cup.
Hi, I made this extract a couple of weeks ago using the brands you recomend. It is starting to smell heavenly and I cant wait to try it, but . . . Do you use just the liquid in a recipe or the nibs themselves.
Could you give how how the nibs are prepared for extract? I’m a newbie just starting out
Where do we find the answers to these questions??? Please answer.
Can you make it without alcohol??
Should I roast the nibs first?
Love the article by Denise. One month ago I made up a jar of organic cacao nibs with vodka. Today I added two cinnamon sticks to the jar. Hoping the finished extract will taste like Mexican chocolate that I will add to my coffee.
What preparation do the nibs need? This doesn’t say whether the husks are removed, or how to do that. Should the nibs be roasted (what temperature and for how long) or put in raw? Lastly, should the nibs be chopped or broken up? Which will give better results chopping or leaving whole?
will this become cloudy or will it stay clear as mine is a little cloudy
I just started 2 small bottles. One with black rum & the other with vodka. I can’t wait to see how these turn out!
David I’m going to try a small batch with spiced rum. I have about 1/2 cup so thought I would give it a whirl. I’m trying to make so many different kinds of extracts and see which ones are hits and misses.
Will spiced rum work?
all I have is spiced rum will that work
All I have is spiced rum with that work?
