Ingredients
Below are useful notes about some of the ingredients for this edible batter.
- Cocoa powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder gives this batter its chocolatey taste.
- Butter: Use unsalted or salted butter. If you use salted butter, you don’t need to add extra salt. Melt butter or brown it for extra flavor.
- Milk: I recommend whole milk for best flavor.
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour. I recommend heat treating the flour to kill off any bacteria. You can heat treat flour in the oven or the microwave.
- Salt: Salt balances out the sweetness and brings out the chocolate flavor!
Substitutions & Variations
- Instead of all-purpose flour, use gluten free flour.
- Swap out the milk for heavy cream.
- To make this vegan, use vegan milk.
- Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, use white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate!
