Make your own dairy-free chocolate!
Ingredients
100g coconut oil
1-2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch of Himalayan sea salt
Optional:
Raw nuts and seeds roughly chopped; coconut flakes; goji berries or frozen blueberries
Method
If coconut oil is hard/solid place it oil in a bowl. Then place bowl inside a BIGGER bowl that is filled with hot water so that it will melt. Don’t mix them together, though! You just want to liquefy the pure coconut oil.
Add all ingredients to a pot over a very low stove (ideally below 37 degrees) or to a Thermomix and combine all ingredients for 5-10 minutes on this low heat setting.
Then transfer the mixture to a blender/food processor or in your Thermomix, blend until smooth. Must use a blender!! (Hand mixing or whisking will not work).
As fast as you can, pour chocolate mixture into your chocolate moulds or you can just use a glass or ceramic baking dish.
The chocolate needs to be set in the freezer for at least 3 hours or longer.
Once it’s set, you can push the chocolate out of the moulds to enjoy! Or if it’s in a dish, roughly chop or break the chocolate up into pieces.
Store the chocolates in the freezer as is or in a container.
