Homemade Dark Chocolates


These are yummy.. even for non coconut lovers out there.. and only 5 main ingredients

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 cup organic cocoa powder (I used Green and Blacks)
  • 1 Tbsp Raw Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of himalayan rock salt

Method
  1. Combine all ingredients into a small bowl and mix until smooth
  2. Pour the contents into sweet moulds or i also used some silicon ice cub moulds
  3. Freeze until hardened for about 30 minutes and then store in the fridge

The one tablespoon of honey is used to get about 85% dark chocolate.. for Lower % just use more honey. (1 Tbsp approx 60%.. based on taste - no science )

Flavors
I decided to add a few flavors to mine and this can vary for anyones tastes.
  • Frozen rasberry pieces
  • Chopped Hazlenuts
  • Desiccated Coconut
  • Chopped almonds
you can really use anything here whatever you like with chocolate.

If wanting to add flavors the method i've used is
Method for rasberries
  1. Place some of the raspberry pieces into the bottom of the mould and pour the chocolate over the top.
  2. Or pour some chocolate into the mould and then the raspberry pieces and then chocolate on top
  3. (don't pour the flavor directly into the chocolate before putting into the moulds as this will change the consistency of the chocolate and it won't pour into the mould)
Play around with different flavors
