Easy Homemade Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup organic cocoa butter/coconut oil or around 80g
- 3 Tbsp organic cacao powder or around 20-35g depending on the density of your cacao powder
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or around 35g
Instructions
- Measure out the ingredients into a small, heat-proof bowl.
- Heat gently over a saucepan of boiling water (a bain-marie) until the ingredients have all melted.
- Remove from the heat, stir well, and pour into the chocolate moulds (you'll need two of the moulds shown), being careful not to overfill each one.
- Carefully place the moulds, flat, in the freezer and freeze for one hour.
- Pop out the chocolates and either eat straight away or store in an airtight container either in the fridge (if you've used cacao butter) or the freezer (if you've used coconut oil).
Notes
It's best to use cocoa butter, as it makes the chocolate more creamy and doesn't melt as quickly, but coconut oil is cheaper and is fine too.
Instead of maple syrup, you could use agave nectar, which gives the chocolate a more caramel-like flavour.
