Making Chocolate Loaves
As mentioned before, it's easy to make this recipe is just a few simple steps. The key to making this recipe successfully is to use room-temperature ingredients.
It allows the ingredients to blend together more smoothly and using room temperature eggs allows the bread to rise better and be airier and light. It also helps prevent any overbeating that may occur while mixing the ingredients together.
Sifting the dry ingredients together is another key to success because everything is mixed together well before being added to the mixture.
Homemade Chocolate Drizzle
Once the loaves are cool, a homemade chocolate drizzle can be added to the top of the loaves. If drizzled onto the loaves when they are hot, the drizzle with sink down into the chocolate loaves and will not harden on top.
Making the chocolate drizzle is simple using these ingredients and steps:
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 ½ tablespoon of half & half
- ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the chocolate chips. Allow the chocolate chips to melt and add the half & half. Once the ingredients have blended well, remove from the heat and stir in the confectioner’s sugar, breaking up any bits of powdered sugar that remains.
Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the sauce to cool down before drizzling on the cookies.
Piping chocolate drizzle makes drizzling the chocolate easier than using a fork or spoon. It’s certainly doable to use utensils but using piping bottles makes the process even easier!
The homemade chocolate drizzle can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This drizzle is made using half & half which reduces its shelf-life.
