Report
Chocolate Sandesh is a chocolate based variation of the popular Sandesh; a sweet fudge like sweet from Bengal. The recipe is made with chenna, cocoa powder, sugar and is fancy, wonderful, yet is not that difficult to make.

Ingredients
- 300 to 350 grams Chenna or chenna made from 1 litre of milk
- 1 tablespoon dark cocoa or regular cocoa powder
- 4 to 5 tablespoons raw sugar or unrefined organic cane or regular sugar; or add according to taste
Instructions
- You will need fresh chenna to make the sandesh. Please refer to this Chenna Recipe here to make it.
- Once the chenna is ready. Then you just crumble it and blitz in a blender or mixer-grinder with cocoa powder and sugar, till the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add this mixture to a thick bottomed non-stick pan or a well seasoned frying pan. With continuous stirring begin to cook on a low heat.
- After a few minutes, the mixture will come to have a smooth and molten consistency.
- Continue to stir and cook. You will see, that the color will darken and the mixture will lost its moisture and start to come together.
- The chenna should have some moistness and must not have a dense rubbery texture. Also no oil or fat should be released from the chocolate sandesh mixture.It will take about 5 to 6 minutes to get this texture on a low heat. The timing may vary depending on the intensity of the heat, the size and quality of the pan and the quality of chenna.
- Take all of the sandesh mixture on a small tray or plate. Let it become warm or cool down completely. Gently knead the mixture.
- Make small or medium sized balls from the sandesh. You can make designs on top by pressing with your thumb or with a fork or toothpick.
- You can also garnish chocolate sandesh with blanched & sliced almonds or pistachios, raisins or cashews and even small-sized chocolate chips.
- Serve Chocolate Sandesh immediately. If not serving, then refrigerate and serve them later.
Notes
- Preferably make your own chenna. Homemade is always better.
- In the recipe I have added dark cocoa powder. But you could also use the dutch processed cocoa powder or regular cocoa powder. If using regular cocoa powder, the color will not be so dark as shown in the pictures on this post.
