Well, I tried something the other day. And it didn't turn out quite as planned. Pretty simple but, I'm no chef so.
I used cocoa powder, sweet n low, and skim milk, in a sauce pan. Only warmed it up, should have heated more, and then poured it into a pan. Well I put it in the freezer to hopefully speed up the hardening process but, it never really hardened. It's more of a hard fudge.
Any ideas what I should do to actually make the chocolate harden like a chocolate bar?
Maybe heat it more, since I only warmed it?
I know this is crazy but, I love chocolate, and still being on my cut I need to perfect the perfect homemade low cal chocolate =D

You should probably try googling it first, and yeah you need something to make it thicker and not a soup or lollipop.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

First off, ditch the sweet n low. aspartame is an awful thing to put in your body. The problem is that you are using cocoa powder. It is nearly impossible to mix with a liquid by hand, even with heat. Buy a 100% cacao bar which is made of super finely ground cacao (finer than the powder) and is designed for melting. Melt that in a small amount of unsweetened milk (almond, coconut or hood's cal countdown dairy milk) with some stevia for sweetening. Also you'd be better off allowing it to slowly cool in the fridge. Hope that helped.

U know that chocolate is mainly fat that is solid on room temperature right? And it melts, because all fats have a certain melting point? U know that chocolate normaly only contains cocoa butter, cocoa solids, sugar and maybe milk solids? Are you trying to make a chocolate bar? Cause without the fat it's impossible! Sure u can replace all the fat with water, but than u got hot chocolate! The solidifying ingredient of chocolate is fat.
