Homemade chocolate drops, which add charm to any pastries, can also be made at home.
Homemade dark chocolate drops are extremely healthy. They are perfect! If you decide to include them in the recipes for chocolate chip cookies, you will not go wrong!
The recipe for making them is extremely easy and includes only two ingredients: unsweetened chocolate and sweetener (for 30 g of broken chocolate, add 5 g of sweetener). To make chocolate drops healthier than store-bought ones, it's really important to make them with 100% unsweetened baking chocolate. The only ingredient on the label must be chocolate.
Let's choose erythritol as a sweetener. This is a suitable sweetener without sugar. However, its crystal form does not dissolve completely, so these chocolate drops will be slightly grainy than store-bought ones. If you prefer smoother chocolate, try replacing it with stevia powder or agave.
All you have to do is break and melt the chocolate, then mix it with the sweetener and when it cools down a bit, form small chocolate dots onto baking paper, by using a piping bag.
Initially, the prepared chocolate drops will not have a tip. They will look more like dots or round spots. Therefore, after piping out about half of the chocolate, grab a toothpick (or just use the tip of your finger) and lightly touch the center of the chocolate dot and then lift your finger or toothpick.
This changes and sharpens the iconic tip of chocolate chips. If you don't care what they look like, leave them as dots! Do the same with the rest of the chocolate.
Allow the chocolate drops to set.
Enjoy!
