Freezable?

Can milk chocolate be frozen?

[New Forester]

Yes. Mind your teeth when you eat it -- it goes very hard.

Thanks for that NF. Im dieting and want to replace ice cream with low cal yogurts!

[New Forester]

I'm confused now... Were you asking about freezing chocolate itself, or chocolate-flavoured yoghurt? You can freeze yoghurt, but again you might find it rather hard when frozen. If thawed completely, I think it might curdle.

OOPS sorry NF,Re yogurts,I meant is it ok to freeze then eat them as in ice cream. Re chocolate I wondered if it could be frozen and kept till needed,then defrosted to scoff!

Of course milk chocolate can be frozen - haven't you seen in the supermarket freezer the ice cream version of Mars Bars or any modern choc-ice (they used to be coated with a "chocolate FLAVOUR coating", but now that's only on the really cheap ones, they've found a way to do it with real chocolate)? Chocolate will keep forever anyway without freezing. The high sugar content means that bacteria cannot live on it. I suppose the oils might oxidise after a long time, but as long as the chocolate is in an air-tight wrap, that wouldn't happen.
