Can a Food processor chop chocolate?

However, you need to be careful:

* Use a pulse setting: Don't run the food processor continuously. Pulses of a few seconds will help you avoid turning the chocolate into a paste.

* Keep it cold: Chocolate is best chopped cold. You can even chill the processor blade for a few minutes in the freezer to help prevent the chocolate from melting.

* Use the right blade: A chopping blade is ideal, but a regular blade can work in a pinch.

Here's why you might want to chop chocolate in a food processor:

* Faster and easier: It's a quicker and less messy way to chop chocolate than using a knife.

* Uniform size: You can get a more consistent size of chocolate pieces than you might by hand.

A few tips:

* Add a tablespoon or two of flour or powdered sugar to the food processor to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the blade.

* Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the food processor periodically.

* Check the chocolate frequently to make sure it isn't getting too finely chopped.
