Easy Homemade Chocolate Filling
This Easy Chocolate Filling is the perfect for filling so many easy desserts. Some of my family’s favorites to make with homemade filling are Old Fashioned Chocolate Rolls, Hand Pies, and Chocolate Croissants. Keep reading to find out how I made this old-fashioned Easy Homemade Chocolate Filling.
This recipe came together after much debate in my family. The old-fashioned chocolate rolls my family makes have a gritty texture I am not a fan of. I decided to make an easy chocolate roll with the same old-fashioned taste, minus the gritty texture and hard work.
Chocolate Filling
First, the key to getting a creamy middle is really taking your time to cook the ingredients low and slow. Make sure everything is melted together and smooth. Of course, we cannot forget that secret ingredient I mentioned.
The secret ingredient is…cream cheese. It really smooths out the texture and cuts the sweetness perfectly. I just know you will love this recipe. Plus, everyone will be so impressed, they will think it took you hours sweating over a hot stove, but that will be our little secret.
What can you make Chocolate Pastries out of?
I’m telling you I add this filling to whatever I can get my hands on. Pie dough, biscuits, croissants, this filling works with them all. If you are curious, I also have recipes using this filling for Old Fashioned Chocolate Rolls made with pie crust, and Hand Pies using biscuits. All are equally delicious.
