Serves: 1½ cups
INGREDIENTS:
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons cacao butter
  • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • Yummy bits – all optional, suggestions include but are not limited to: Roasted almonds
  • Unsweetened coconut
  • Goji berries
  • Pepitas
  • Buckinis
  • Fried dried raspberries
  • Dried fruit – figs, apricots, dates, raisins, currants etc
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In a double boiler (or a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water), melt coconut oil and cacao butter together.
  2. Add maple syrup and whisk to combine.
  3. When completely incorporated, remove from heat and sift in cacao and Himalayan salt.
  4. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Spoon the raw cacao chocolate in your moulds to the level you wish – maybe like 1-2cm – these are quite rich and still contains sugar so you want to keep your serving sizes reasonable!
  6. Sprinkle over any yummy bits you wish – gentle push down into the chocolate if needed but don’t submerge entirely.
  7. Place in the fridge or freezer and cool until solid, about 15 minutes.
  8. Share with your favourite peoples.
