Tips for using Hershey’s Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder can actually be enjoyed on its own, like with these Rich ’n Good Chocolate Truffles. Unlike their American counterpart, which refer to any candy with a chocolate shell and creamy center, French truffles are basically balls of pure chocolate ganache. This gives them some melting potential, which is why it’s customary to roll them in nuts or cocoa powder.
- Make hot chocolate (without clumps)
Impress your next guest with this hot cocoa tip: You might have noticed that cocoa powder dumped into hot water or milk tends to form clumps. This is a bit of food science, but it’s because the powder is more attracted to itself than the H2O. To get a smooth blend, you want to add a bit of your beverage to the cocoa powder until it becomes a muddy (but delicious) mixture. Then you’re safe to add in the rest of the liquid.
- Make brownies stay softer
There are a few ways to make something chocolatey. You might be familiar with brownie recipes that get their chocolate from a chocolate bar, chopped and melted into the batter. The reason to use cocoa powder instead is because it gives brownies a uniquely velvety texture and a rich, intense taste.
HERSHEY’S Cocoa is the star of this Triple Chocolate Torte recipe. It’s in the chocolate cake batter, of course — and it’s also in the dreamy layers of chocolate cream filling. And if that weren’t enough, it all gets covered in a decadent fudge glaze. Top this torte with a trio of tart berries.
