Hi,
I naturally have thought of adding my own ingredients to a 99%couverture chocolate I can get hold of. Is this an easy thing to do i.e can Ijust simply add my own milk powder and cocoa butter to a melted chocolate? can Iadd things like a liquor, Cognac or even fruit juice, for example juicedstraberries ect?
PS. Can I use liquid milk instead of powdered form? I'mfrom England and there's a chocolate bar that states it uses real milk.Obviously I can't stand the thing now that I'm aware of decentchocolate.
Thanks.

Adding Own Ingredients.
Liquid milk, liquor or fruit juice can't be used in chocolate. It will cause the chocolate to seize. Those liquids can however be used if making a ganche.You can add cocoa butter to couverature - however adding sugar may result in a grainy product. Sugar is generally added before the conching process insuring that the particle size becomes very small and thereby preventing it from be detected as crystalline by the tongue.

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
