Essential Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chopped or chips – Provides a rich, deep chocolate flavor. You can also use milk or white chocolate for a different twist.
- ½ cup unsalted butter – Adds silkiness and enhances the overall creaminess.
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk – Gives the dessert a smooth luscious consistency.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Elevates the flavor with a warm aromatic touch.
- ¼ teaspoon salt – A pinch of salt enhances the chocolate’s depth and balances the sweetness.
Optional Add-ins for Extra Indulgence:
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder – Intensifies the chocolatey richness.
- ¼ cup chopped nuts walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts – Adds a delightful crunch.
- ¼ cup caramel drizzle – For a sweet gooey contrast.
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish – A simple yet elegant finishing touch.
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate & Butter
Prepare a double boiler – Fill a small saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan (without touching the water) and add the chopped chocolate and butter.
Stir continuously as the mixture melts into a silky, glossy consistency.
Alternative method: If using a microwave, melt the chocolate and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Pro Tip: Avoid overheating the chocolate, as it can become grainy. Stir gently for a flawless, smooth texture.
Step 2: Blend in the Creamy Elements
Once melted, remove the bowl from heat and slowly stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
Add vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
If using any mix-ins like espresso powder, chopped nuts, or caramel drizzle, fold them in now for added richness.
Step 3: Pour & Set the Mixture
Line a small baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
For a beautiful finishing touch, dust the top with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
Place the dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, allowing the dessert to set properly.
Once firm, remove from the fridge and slice into squares or bars.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chocolate Delight DTI!
