Homemade Vegan Chocolate

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons cacao butter (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 5 tablespoons cacao powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

1. Grind your coconut sugar down to a finer consistency (this ‘finer’ nature will allow it to dissipate evenly through the chocolate, ensuring that it doesn’t sink to the bottom whilst the chocolate is setting).
2. Chop your cacao butter into fine pieces (this makes the process of melting much easier). You might also have cacao butter drops (in which case use heaped tablespoons to measure).
3. Get a saucepan and add about an inch of water. Place a heatproof glass bowl on top of the pan (see the video above for a demo) and then heat the water on a low to medium heat.
4. Melt the cacao butter in the glass bowl, adding the coconut sugar and vanilla. Mix in regularly over the next few minutes.
5. When the cacao butter has melted add the cacao powder and mix in thoroughly.
6. Pour into a chocolate mould or a parchment paper lined container.
7. Set in the freezer (quickest) or in the fridge.
8. Pop out of your moulds when set and enjoy!
