Chocolate paste
Description
Chocolate spread is not only delicious but also a quick and healthy dessert when made with homemade milk, natural butter, and fresh nuts. You can reduce the amount of sugar according to your taste. I'd like to emphasize that the butter should be of high quality. I conducted an experiment: I bought inexpensive butter and homemade butter, melted both, and then placed them in the refrigerator. The homemade butter solidified again, while the margarine behaved differently—forming a thin crust on the surface and leaving plain white liquid underneath. Back to the recipe: besides butter, cocoa also plays a significant role. I use dark cocoa powder. Follow the step-by-step instructions and try my chocolate spread recipe.

In a dry saucepan with a thick bottom, mix the sugar with the flour and cocoa powder. This step must not be skipped, as the combined flour, cocoa, and sugar will then mix smoothly with the milk, without lumps.
