{"title":"Cocoa Powder","description":"\u003cp\u003eCocoa powder is what remains when roasted cocoa beans are pressed to remove most of their butter, then ground fine.

To make hot cocoa, mix a spoonful with a spoonful of caster sugar and a splash of cold milk into a paste, then whisk in hot milk. Store it sealed and dry, as cocoa absorbs smells easily.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"basak-kakao-cocoa-powder-100g","title":"Basak Kakao Cocoa Powder 100g","description":"\u003cp\u003eBasak Kakao is a strongly de-oiled cocoa powder from Başak of Akşehir in Turkey, made from imported cocoa beans and treated with alkali, the Dutch style process that gives a darker colour and a smoother, less sharp chocolate flavour. With cocoa butter at 11%, it is a lean powder that mixes easily into batters, creams and milk. The pack names cream cakes, sponges, puddings and ice cream as its uses, and the 100g carton suits home baking where a few spoonfuls go into each bake.

Whisk it into warm milk with sugar for a chocolate pudding or a quick hot cocoa, or fold it through whipped cream for a cake filling. A light dusting through a fine sieve finishes tiramisu, brownies and truffles. Because it is unsweetened, add sugar to taste.
