Crazy! As a Jamaican I would help my grandmother make chocolate in the summer time from the trees in my backyard. We would dry them outside in the sun then she would use the mortar and pestle to crush them. Oh fun times!
If every TH-cam video was like this I would be more inclined to become a visual learner. He explains it, isn’t annoying and doesn’t make it about himself but the audience and the topic at hand. This is an amazing video. Thank you sir!
I'm from Ghana and we actually call it cocoa. It's our main export cash crop and I have a 40acre farmland for it. I love the hard labour that goes into producing those cocoa beans.
My grandma has cacao plantation that is pretty large, and im tellin you, being able to climb the tree, pick the fruit, slam it on the tree stem to open it, and eat it while you r still on the tree, are the best kind of thing that might happen to you 😭😭👍👍
@@Sophie-Ocean i...... iam the one who climb the tree and experience it by myself then why are u the one who got triggered lol 😂 Maam im telling you cacao trees in indonesia could grow pretty tall that u need to climb in order to get the fruit. Even the cacao tree near my house is about 3.5 meters tall 😩
@@Sophie-Ocean yesh it is bestie, but for a cacao tree it's pretty tall remembering most of them just grow very low. The lowest one i could find was when the fruits are almost touch the ground. They have so many different height here bestie 😊
Hi! I'm student of Master on science in Mexico and I'm doing my thesis about the antioxidants in cacao. I love how you explain easily what is cacao and how you can make chocolate with it. Amazing!
Hershey’s literally had kisses removed from markets by the government in the UK because its doesnt meet the minimum cocoa % requirements to be qualified as chocolate. You picked the worst possible company.
I am currently teaching my students a song called "Bate Bate Chocolate" and am using this video to show them how chocolate is made. I thought you looked familiar as my husband and I saw you on Master Chef 10 and thought that you did really well in the competition. Congratulations on your success and keep these videos going!
That's so cool! We were taught that song when we visited a chocolate factory in Nicaragua last year! Then we got to sample a lot of their different types of chocolate. So yummy!
@@nahor88 The oils from the cacao helps it to turn into paste. Same from when you blend a peanut for long periods of time and it turns into peanut butter because of its oils. I'm not really sure but I think this explanation makes sense.
3:13 Him saying, “Give yourself a pat on the back, we just made chocolate from cacao.” As I’m just sitting here on the toilet at 2 am like. 👁 👄 👁 Yea... I did a great job
I love how you explain chocolate making.chocolate is my favorite and I'm watching this from West Africa.im going to start planting my own Coco next year and start making my own chocolate by God's grace and mercy.thanks
Thank you - Honestly I love how you described the taste: actually a fruit taste like lychee, jolly rancher, citris and is purple in white slime that darkens to chocolate flavor during fermentation
I remember my grandma making chocolate for us she had a small farm with nice cacao just like what he has, not only eating the chocolate was so nice and rich but the cacao fruit by itself was so delicious, Ecuador cacao and chocolate is the best proud of my country.
Ecuador is a shtt hole.This dude hit a man over the head with a shovel in Ecuador April 6th over a property line, its on video on wpd, they're weird there.
@@coolxg4357 yes but its bitter as hell. Have you had real chocolate before, like fully dark chocolate, it doesnt taste that good plain because its too bitter. And when they make it for shops they add other things to it to make it less bitter.
the chocolate you made is more similar to the Modica Chocolate which is a typical product of Sicily, rather than the Lindt bar that you snapped at the beginning. Modica Chocolate is not tempered, it uses coarse, granulated sugar and is much much simpler than regular commercial chocolate; it also comes in tens of different varieties like: spicy chili, black or white pepper, vanilla, pistacho, cinnamon, orange or lemon zest. Modica Chocolate is much coarser and rougher than regular chocolate, you can almost taste every individual granule of sugar and the additional ingredients doesn't hit you until you reach the aftertaste. It's a very deep and complex flavor.
My recipe, which is more complex but worth it in my opinion. Ferment the cacao beans in a bowl. Line the bottom of the bowl and cover the beans with banana leaves. This step should take about a week. Roast the beans. Nick already gave instructions for that in this video. Crunch the beans into nibs. *This is where exact measurements come into the game.* *This is a ratio recipe.* 1 cup of cacao nibs 1 tablespoon of cane sugar 1 teaspoon of sea salt 1 teaspoon of cinnamon Blend this mixture into a fine powder. Run the powder through a fine mesh sift. Pour the powder into a bowl. *Time for more measurements.* *This is still a ratio recipe.* 2 cups of the powder 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract Mix well. Add the mixture back into a blender and leave it until it's a fine paste. Pour the paste into a mold and leave it in the freezer for a couple of hours to set. Retrieve your chocolate, chop it up, and temper it. There's plenty of videos out there about how to temper chocolate. Before pouring the chocolate back into the mold, add some chopped almonds. Eyeball the amount of almonds you want, or don't add them at all. It's up to you. Pour the chocolate back into the mold and leave it in the fridge overnight to set. I like to cut the chocolate bar into squares before eating it. I find that this chocolate pairs really well with tart and semisweet fruits (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc). I hope someone who enjoys making chocolate tries this recipe and enjoys it as much as my wife and I do.
@@shaunpark9602 its like saying well but combined with oh so like “oh well fuck” you say “welp fuck” .... actually you were probably correct in the beginning-
This video is just awesome, you should make some lava cakes with the chocolate from the pods, it’s my favorite dessert, and I heard it’s your favorite to! Also couldn’t you eat the white flesh then bake the bean on the inside
@Allison Gargiulo The white stuff around the seeds of cacao Is the fruit which you don't bite but suck on. I've tried it no lie it's the most addicting fruit I've ever tasted and makes you feel awake as if you snorted a tiny bit of coke. (I don't do drugs)
We harvested some cacao from our backyard, fermented, and dried them. Now time to make chocolate. I wanted something simple so I'm totally trying your method today. Mahalo!
Well their just trying to be entertaining and not to get you bored if you were a TH-cam and you're salary if from ad revenue and views of course you wanna entertain you're audience if not they won't view you're videos and no more money and ad revenue for you no hate just explaining how we TH-cam's get our money
I am really shocked finding that chocolate goes through almost the same process like a coffee beans. Wow! Thank you Nick! No wonder they sometimes share similar taste.
You're one of my favorites to watch make all these amazing recipes. I gave up on my culinary career but you inspire me to keep learning and not give up on being an awesome chef.
Thanks my dude, As a fellow Mexican. Not much people know that chocolate originally comes from Mexico. And now that I know how to make chocolate, hope all things go well! 👌🏼
Great content! 👏🏻 You didn’t make it half an hour long, you don’t just repeat the same things over and over because you just saw it on Tiktok and know little about it, and you don’t scream everything just to put your point across. 👍🏼 Here we have cacao trees in every home with a yard. What we do is ferment it for a week (tip: the longer you ferment it, the better it’s aroma), dry them under the Sun (most families don’t have an oven), separate the nibs and blend. We put the paste in boiling water and drink it like coffee. Some add sugar or milk. And it’s amazing!💖
I agree! it inspired me to make a video myself diving deeper and talking about Cocoa. I just uploaded it yesterday.. it has no views yet. It's not an hour long, but 15 minutes, hopefully 15 minutes you will not regret, lots of knowledge and facts you did not know. The video is called: Cocoa: Food of the God's | Superfood
So simply explained.I've been picking my brain trying to work how to get the powder to stick together . You've pieced together the process so nicely.Just so fantastic how you've got the snap so precise . Thank you
My grandparents have been doing the manual way of cacao to cocoa/tablea and I also just learned how to do it (manually) too 💖 they smell really,really great!
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!
Just a quick disclaimer for everyone trying to follow this video: This won't work. Let me explain you why: - You can't blend cocoa nibs like this if you don't own an absolute beast of a blender. You will need to add fat in form of molten (!) cocoa butter or coconut oil in order to make a paste like shown in the video - otherwise you're blender is going to break. Trust me, mine almost did. - That is not nearly enough sugar. If you want an edible chocolate, the ratio of cocoa to sugar should at least be 70:30. - If you want your chocolate to have a snap, you'll need to temper it. Talking about tempering, it's kinda odd that he didn't temper it and still it has a snap. How can that be? Well, because it's faked. Look at the mold at 2:55 and the mold 2:59, the chocolate around the corner looks different and also the chocolate is way smoother all of a sudden.
I live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where the climate is perfect to grow cacao plants. I have my very own plants in my backyard, that I bought from a farmer near Naranjal, 100 km away from my home. After 16 months of care and love, one of them finally provided our first pod: around 25 cm long and 12 cm in diameter. The beans are already fermenting. In 4 days I will be roasting them and preparing my first real homemade chocolate bar. 🤤
Lol I watched this in economic studies class, we where researching the corrupt cacao industry and the professor pulled up your video! Helped me go well on my test, thank you!
I love this. I just opened my first ever pod so I can make chocolate myself for the first time but I'm so worried I'm gonna get the fermentation all wrong and ruin it. He made it look so much easier than everyone else does. I'm in Ohio so I don't have banana leaves. And it's still in the rainy season. I don't have a dehydrator. What can I do?
to be honest in philippines when they have cacao they taste the food inside and its delicious and then when its all done they put it on a table and go outside the house to get the beans dry by using sun light it could last 2 days and you're done sorry my english in not in the mood right now
Thank you so much for this video! We just purchased some property in Costa Rica and I think we have...~8 mature cacao trees, so I needed a refresher on taking them from pod to bar. Can't wait to try it out! Going to start the fermentation today!
nick imma be honest i tried making these chocolate bars buttttt it didn't go that well :( i used a kitchenaid food processor to blend the cacao nibs and sugar and it just wouldn't turn into a paste!! it was so stubborn and i swear i was blending for so so long! i did end up taking whatever sorta paste i made and freezing it into the mold anyway and it still looked and tasted like a chocolate bar but i sadly didn't get the snap bc the paste wasn't perfect. still tasted absolutely incredible, i'm a HUGE dark chocolate fan (i would literally eat the most bitter dark chocolate ever) but if i make this again i just need a way better blender.
We have cacao trees in our backyard (lots of people here in Kerala, India have) and my mom makes chocolates using them🥰 But the process is slightly different.

Ferment the cacao beans in a bowl. Line the bottom of the bowl and cover the beans with banana leaves.
This step should take about a week.
Roast the beans. Nick already gave instructions for that in this video.
Crunch the beans into nibs.
*This is where exact measurements come into the game.*
*This is a ratio recipe.*
1 cup of cacao nibs
1 tablespoon of cane sugar
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Blend this mixture into a fine powder.
Run the powder through a fine mesh sift.
Pour the powder into a bowl.
*Time for more measurements.*
*This is still a ratio recipe.*
2 cups of the powder
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Mix well.
Add the mixture back into a blender and leave it until it's a fine paste.
Pour the paste into a mold and leave it in the freezer for a couple of hours to set.
Retrieve your chocolate, chop it up, and temper it.
There's plenty of videos out there about how to temper chocolate.
Before pouring the chocolate back into the mold, add some chopped almonds.
Eyeball the amount of almonds you want, or don't add them at all. It's up to you.
Pour the chocolate back into the mold and leave it in the fridge overnight to set.

Wonderful video. Straight to the point, no fillers. Just a good video. Definitely worth a like and a comment
This would be a amazing master chef challenge
Dude it takes a week to ferment
@@jacksonpatrick7908 dude thanks for letting me knkw
@@KrommyMusic lmao
I mean the could ferment it a week before the recording of the episode
@@bloc_fruityt3925 wouldn’t work
I am really shocked finding that chocolate goes through almost the same process like a coffee beans. Wow! Thank you Nick! No wonder they sometimes share similar taste.
Also why they go well together.
@@aaronrodriguez1483 yes indeed, very well too 👐
You're one of my favorites to watch make all these amazing recipes. I gave up on my culinary career but you inspire me to keep learning and not give up on being an awesome chef.
Thanks my dude,
As a fellow Mexican. Not much people know that chocolate originally comes from Mexico. And now that I know how to make chocolate, hope all things go well! 👌🏼
Props to him for looking for a jungle biome for about 10 hours
Lol
Minecrafter 😉
how could it be this was my thought just a couple seconds ago xD (i hate searching for jungle biom's ,_,)
Don't feed to parrots
Great content! 👏🏻 You didn’t make it half an hour long, you don’t just repeat the same things over and over because you just saw it on Tiktok and know little about it, and you don’t scream everything just to put your point across. 👍🏼
Here we have cacao trees in every home with a yard. What we do is ferment it for a week (tip: the longer you ferment it, the better it’s aroma), dry them under the Sun (most families don’t have an oven), separate the nibs and blend. We put the paste in boiling water and drink it like coffee. Some add sugar or milk. And it’s amazing!💖
I agree! it inspired me to make a video myself diving deeper and talking about Cocoa. I just uploaded it yesterday.. it has no views yet. It's not an hour long, but 15 minutes, hopefully 15 minutes you will not regret, lots of knowledge and facts you did not know.
The video is called: Cocoa: Food of the God's | Superfood
Nick: your self a pat on the back.
Me: but I didn’t do anything 😞
But we watched him

Me: patting my back and feeling proud even though I didn’t do anything😂
Communism We made it
The seeds are TASTY
I had some in Ecuador and they’re juicy and creamy and super sweet, like omg they’re so good
Amazing video man. Seriously. One of the best I have seen yet. Never knew making chocolate was so simple.
I like how he explains it instead of just making it
He is the nice version of Gordon Ramsey😂
Wow thanks for all the likes🤯
no just a normal cooking channel
@@Garnox_ not normal. He was a finalist on master chef. Wouldn’t call that “normal cooking channel”

So simply explained.I've been picking my brain trying to work how to get the powder to stick together .
You've pieced together the process so nicely.Just so fantastic how you've got the snap so precise .
Thank you
I saw on another vid the person added coconut oil to get a wet paste
My grandparents have been doing the manual way of cacao to cocoa/tablea and I also just learned how to do it (manually) too 💖 they smell really,really great!
Now we can eat chocolate without our parents saying “Chocolate isn’t good for u”
Everything in moderation...
Overused joke
I like how he scientifically describes his tutorials...
I don’t like chocolate very much but I would eat this whenever possible.
i just made cacao chocolate last night and my grandma at my siblings like it a lot, thanks to you!
Unlike most other tiktokers that just post there tiktok on youtube, this guy is actually putting the time to make a organial video
I'm reading my kids Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for homeschool and this is perfect!
Wow, soy de Ecuador y pues para mi esta muy fácil de hacerlo, lo mejor es que mis padres tiene muchos arboles de cacao!
GRACIAAAAS! :D
Ese video es mentira
I would have never guessed that chocolate comes from these pods. AMAZING.
I'm low-key obsessed with his videos I'm watching all of them 🙄😏
Me toooo
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!
So nostalgic haha I'm from Brazil and we had a cocoa tree at my grandma's backyard
You're a lifesaver! Thanks for making this video! Now I know how to process my own cocoa from our cacao tree!
how long did the tree take to grow and how long for it to produce fruits
Aaawww. Thank you for this delicious chocolate making video. No one had pure chocolate making video.. You're the only one. Thank you ☺️
Aztecs from heaven
I'm proud of you son
🥺
Well actually i think it was the mayans or olmecs
It’s always fascinating to watch making bean to bar chocolate ❤️❤️ Love your video 🍫☺️
Greeting from Indonesia The Brandal kebun
Just a quick disclaimer for everyone trying to follow this video: This won't work. Let me explain you why:
- You can't blend cocoa nibs like this if you don't own an absolute beast of a blender. You will need to add fat in form of molten (!) cocoa butter or coconut oil in order to make a paste like shown in the video - otherwise you're blender is going to break. Trust me, mine almost did.
- That is not nearly enough sugar. If you want an edible chocolate, the ratio of cocoa to sugar should at least be 70:30.
- If you want your chocolate to have a snap, you'll need to temper it.
Talking about tempering, it's kinda odd that he didn't temper it and still it has a snap. How can that be? Well, because it's faked. Look at the mold at 2:55 and the mold 2:59, the chocolate around the corner looks different and also the chocolate is way smoother all of a sudden.
Nice bro your smart
Thank you! Felt like I was losing my sanity reading other comments about how great the video is.
Do you have any advice on how to keep them from getting mold?
Busted! Video is fake. Thanks for explaining the process. You certainly know your stuff
could i add maple syrup instead of sugar or..nah?
Thanks. Here in Papua New Guinea we grow plenty of cocoa. Did not realize how easy it is to turn it chocolate! Will try your method.

“tastes like mainly vanilla”
Nick: good job, give yourself a pat on the back thats beautiful

I live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where the climate is perfect to grow cacao plants. I have my very own plants in my backyard, that I bought from a farmer near Naranjal, 100 km away from my home. After 16 months of care and love, one of them finally provided our first pod: around 25 cm long and 12 cm in diameter. The beans are already fermenting. In 4 days I will be roasting them and preparing my first real homemade chocolate bar. 🤤
Sent this to my mom. My mom “stop looking at chocolate me I’m not I’m looking at fruit

He had me at “Snap, Snap, Snap” & “Karate Chop”
I wish someone complemented me like how he complements the cocoa beans

that was the most beautiful video to watch, thank you so much Nick!
Lol I watched this in economic studies class, we where researching the corrupt cacao industry and the professor pulled up your video! Helped me go well on my test, thank you!
when my mom says choclate is unhealthy
me: its a fruit
Chocolate has alot of sugar and other things in it tho 👁👁
@@Visceralx1 some1 doesn’t understand a joke
If you don’t put sugar it’s considered healthy.
@@illmeltyacutg8120 ok
its good for you. Lots of antioxidants.
I love this. I just opened my first ever pod so I can make chocolate myself for the first time but I'm so worried I'm gonna get the fermentation all wrong and ruin it. He made it look so much easier than everyone else does. I'm in Ohio so I don't have banana leaves. And it's still in the rainy season. I don't have a dehydrator. What can I do?
Search on google
The fruits are tasty
You roast them in the oven you shouldn’t need a dehydrator
you have to let them ferment first for about 1 week out in the sun, make sure to cover with a cloth so no bugs dirt get in and on etc @@Alyssa-ti3kn
really? they look it @@gameseeker6307
I'm a chocolate lover, and love to make homemade chocolates, thanx for your video. In Sha Allah I'll try to make it
to be honest in philippines when they have cacao they taste the food inside and its delicious and then when its all done they put it on a table and go outside the house to get the beans dry by using sun light it could last 2 days and you're done sorry my english in not in the mood right now
0:38 this is now your asmr session
Yes
When he’s good looking, excellent at karate, AND can make chocolate from a pod 🥰
Thank you so much for this video! We just purchased some property in Costa Rica and I think we have...~8 mature cacao trees, so I needed a refresher on taking them from pod to bar.
Can't wait to try it out! Going to start the fermentation today!
I ferment in Costa Rica, don’t ferment to long or else the vinegerize
What's your method for fermenting the cacao seeds? Do you leave them out at room temperature or they need to be at a specific temp?
I tried the fermentation process but the beans got moldy.
Me: *Looking through his video and see’s picture of Gordon Ramsay.*
Me: He was on Hell’s Kitchen?.
Nah masterchef
nick imma be honest i tried making these chocolate bars buttttt it didn't go that well :( i used a kitchenaid food processor to blend the cacao nibs and sugar and it just wouldn't turn into a paste!! it was so stubborn and i swear i was blending for so so long! i did end up taking whatever sorta paste i made and freezing it into the mold anyway and it still looked and tasted like a chocolate bar but i sadly didn't get the snap bc the paste wasn't perfect. still tasted absolutely incredible, i'm a HUGE dark chocolate fan (i would literally eat the most bitter dark chocolate ever) but if i make this again i just need a way better blender.
Perhaps it was a problem with your blender?
2:59 When he moved his finger across the chocolate, it fit well with the music
Gets chocolate nut
Turn nut into chocolate
Makes chocolate
Tastes like vanilla
Wait what?
Me who has dirty minds: *Oh god please no*
from the thumbnail i thought he turned a chocolate bar into a cacao pod and not the other way around
Me and BobsChannel: *HAHA DIRTY MIND GO BRRRRR*
We have cacao trees in our backyard (lots of people here in Kerala, India have) and my mom makes chocolates using them🥰 But the process is slightly different.
Please educate me on your process
I want some !
I ate 18 cacao pods today yum
Wow, holy moly, raw or roasted?
