Making extracts can seem like an intimidating undertaking, but it’s surprisingly easy. Chocolate extract is generally made by infusing cocoa beans with alcohol to provide a rich and uninhibited depth of flavor that will take your baked goods to a whole new level and best of all it’s a completely natural process!
With this simple tutorial you’ll find out everything you need to know about making your own extract and how you can get the exact flavor you want. A lot of people may think making your own extract is pointless since it can only be added to a few items…but you’d be surprised at how many dishes it can actually flavor, for example:
- Chocolate Cake
- Cupcakes
- Home Brews
- Banana Bread
- Cookies
- Pancakes
I think you see where this is going… add it to everything and anything you can imagine for a deliciously original, rich and perfect flavor.
