Required Ingredients
To prepare the Giant Milk Chocolate, you will need the following ingredients:
- For the filling:
- 2 cans of condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 cup of powdered milk (Ninho Milk)
- 1/2 cup of cream
- For the topping:
- 500g milk or semisweet chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
Preparing the Filling
- Initial Mix: In a saucepan, add the condensed milk and butter. Place over low heat and stir continuously until it starts to come away from the bottom of the pan.
- Incorporation of Milk Powder: Add the powdered milk and continue stirring until well combined. This will help give the filling a creamier, more flavorful texture.
- Adding the Cream: Add the cream and mix until you get a creamy, smooth consistency. This will make the filling lighter and easier to spread.
- Cooling: Turn off the heat and let the filling cool completely. This step is crucial to ensure that the filling does not melt the chocolate when assembling.
Melting the Chocolate
- Preparation: Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe container.
- Microwave: Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until it is completely melted and smooth. You can also melt it in a double boiler if you prefer.
- Coconut oil: If desired, add a tablespoon of coconut oil to make the chocolate shinier and easier to handle. This also helps the chocolate flow during assembly.
Assembling the Giant Nest Milk Chocolate
- Shape Choice: Choose a silicone mold or a regular mold lined with parchment paper. Silicone molds are easier to unmold.
- First Chocolate Layer: Pour a layer of melted chocolate into the pan, covering the entire surface. Use a spoon or brush to make sure the chocolate covers the sides well.
- First Layer Cooling: Place the mold in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
- Adding the Filling: Remove from the freezer and add the nest milk filling, spreading it evenly. Make sure the filling is well distributed for a uniform texture when cutting.
- Final Chocolate Layer: Cover the filling with the remaining melted chocolate, sealing the edges well. This prevents the filling from leaking out when you cut the chocolate.
- Final Cooling: Return to the freezer for another 20 minutes or until the candy is completely firm.
Unmolding and Serving
- Unmolding: Once the chocolate is firm, carefully unmold it. If you used parchment paper, gently remove it.
- Waiting Time: Let the chocolate sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting. This prevents the chocolate from cracking when cutting.
- Serving: Cut the chocolate into generous slices and serve.
Tips and Variations
- Adding Dried Fruits: You can add pieces of dried fruit or nuts to the filling for a special touch. Fruits like apricots and walnuts go well with the flavor of the powdered milk.
- Variety of Chocolates: Use white chocolate or a combination of chocolates to vary the flavor and appearance. Also experiment with chocolates with different percentages of cocoa.
- Smaller Candy: If you prefer, you can make smaller chocolates using chocolate molds. This is ideal for giving as gifts or serving at parties.
Storage and Conservation
- Conservation: Store the chocolate in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week. This ensures that the chocolate maintains its texture and flavor.
- Avoid Heat: Avoid exposing the chocolate to heat so that the chocolate does not melt. On very hot days, it may be necessary to store it in the refrigerator.
