our very first hand made raw chocolates
Unbelievably quick and easy to make.
And they taste heavenly!!
My very keen helper
Here adding some raw cacao to melted cacao butter
various silicon molds
Production line and all the willing samplers
And here we go!
we followed the instructions attached to the kit soooooo....
Melt 100g Raw Cacao Butter in a bowl over a pan of water on a low heat
Add 6 tbsps Raw Cacao Powder
Add 2-3 tbsp raw honey/ real maple syrup to sweeten and mix well with a metal balloon whisk ( taste and add more sweetener if you prefer a sweeter taste) I added a pinch of salt which brings out the sweetness so the amound of the sweetener can be reduced
Spoon into plastic tubs to make bars of chocolate (makes 3 bars) or into silicone ice cube trays (makes up to 34 small chocs) and place in the freezer for 20 min or leave to set in the fridge for around 2h
Remove from freezer/fridge and enjoy!
Get creative and add fruit and nuts, chilli powder, peppermint, vanilla, pure food grade essential oils ( orange, ginger, geranium, bergamot, lemon, violet, rose etc or any combination of flavours) to make your own, unique chocolates
I used half of the mixture to make plain chocolate hearts and added 2 tbsps of maca and 2 tsm of acai berry powder to the rest of chocolate mixture - it worked exceptionally well in this combination
I thought those chocolates were factory-made at first glimpse because of how refined they look. They're tempting and enticing to look at. I wish I can eat one right now. =)
