Most Recent Test:
Ingredients
12 c. powdered milk
2 c. water
---blend, microwave until steaming, add to :
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 c. swerve sugar replacement
1/3 c. cornstarch
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate chopped into little pieces
1/3 c. cocoa powder
- blend until sound changes from it thickening, about 3 minutes, then add ---
2 eggs
- blend 1 minute -
1 T. butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- blend 10 seconds, pour in custard dishes and cool
-------------------------
set up immediately, just right on sweetness
-------------------------
First test was perfect but I forgot to record exactly what I did. Second test failed. It didn't set up and it was bitter.
--------------------------
Third test I used these ingredients:
Ingredients
3 ounces chocolate chips
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups mixed powdered milk
2 T. agave nectar
- blend for 3 minutes, then add ---
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
--------------------------
It was good tasting, but it didn't set up at all. I want to make it work with powdered milk, because that is what I have access too. Perhaps it just needs more thickener, i.e. corn starch.
