HOMEMADE CHOCOLATES (USING CACAO PASTE)

MAKES

Depends on your chocolate mould size

 

PREPARATION TIME

15 minutes plus freezing time

 

METHOD

STEP 1:

Gently melt the cacao paste, cacao butter, and coconut oil using 2 pots or a glass bowl over a pot, bain-marie style, with just-boiled water in the bottom pot.

 

STEP 2:

Add the honey*, charcoal and essential oil and mix well to combine.

 

STEP 3:

Transfer the melted ingredients into another vessel for easy pouring or use a tablespoon to spoon the mixture into the moulds. Make sure the chocolate moulds are on a hard flat surface (a tray makes it easier to transfer them to the freezer). Fill the chocolate moulds.

 

STEP 4:

Set in the freezer.

 

NOTE:

These chocolates taste sweeter once frozen, so resist the urge to add too much honey. ;)

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 200g Cacao Paste, melted
  • 100g Cacao Butter, melted

  • Tsp salt
  • 2 tsp activated charcoal powder (optional)

Tip: you can add chopped nuts or dried fruits to these chocolates, but rather add any chunky ingredient to the moulds once chocolate is already poured in (after Step 3).
