Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, gently melt the coconut oil until it becomes fully liquefied, ensuring it doesn’t overheat or burn.
- Mix in other ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract into the melted coconut oil. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and well combined with no lumps.
- Pour into molds: Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into candy molds or a tray lined with parchment paper, spreading evenly if using a tray.
- Chill to set: Place the molds or tray in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate has completely hardened and is firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once fully set, remove the chocolates from the molds or slice into pieces if using a tray. Enjoy the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
- Ensure coconut oil is melted gently to avoid heating it too much and affecting texture.
- Variations can include adding nuts, sea salt, or dried fruit for texture and flavor.
- Store chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegan-friendly.
