Raw Chocolate
Small chocolate delights, easy to make!
Ingredients
140 g shredded coconut
50 g raw cacao powder (or carob powder)
125 g coconut oil
2 or 3 tablespoons coconut sugar or 2 or 3 tablespoons dried white mulberries (blended)
a pinch of salt (optional)
Directions
Blend shredded coconut in a high-speed blender to obtain a fine powder. Mix the shredded coconut, the raw cacao (or the carob powder), coconut sugar (or dried white mulberries blended) and a pinch of salt (optional). Melt the coconut fat in a heat–resistant bowl that you put in a pot with warm water (not boiling!) – less than 42°C. Pour the coconut oil into the coconut-cacao mixture and mix well. Put the mixture in a flat-bottomed container wide enough so that the chocolate has a thickness of 2 cm or use small chocolate molds. Place in the refrigerator (or freezer) until it has a firm consistency. Keep refrigerated; chocolate melts at room temperature.
Endless variations are possible by adding nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc.), dried fruit, citrus essences…
