Homemade Chocolate Recipe

Author: Good Food Eating.com
Prep time: 2 mins
Cook time: 5 mins
Total time: 7 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
  • stevia to taste
Instructions
  1. Melt the coconut oil in a bowl over boiling water – to do this use a small saucepan with water and just sit a bowl over the top of it.
  2. Add the cacao and stevia to your desired sweetness – I use a liquid stevia
  3. In a small plastic container, lay down some glad wrap/plastic wrap so if covers the bottom and wraps up the sides to create a mold
  4. Pour the mixture on top of it, put it in the freezer for 10 minutes then it’s ready
  5. Slice it up into pieces and keep it in the fridge

Ideas for chocolate variations

  • Add desiccated coconut for a coconut rough
  • Add 1 tablespoon almond or cashew butter for a fudge type chocolate
  • Dip some blueberries or strawberries in the mix and put the fruit in the fridge
  • Add a few chopped nuts such as almonds to make it a nut chocolate
  • Add a few drops of peppermint oil for a peppermint chocolate

Get creative, there are lots of ways you can adapt the basic recipe to include other flavours.

You can also adapt the quantity as this recipe will make just a small amount at a time.

Hope you enjoy it.

    This is so timely because I was actually doing this in very small amounts with organic buyer the other day to relieve a small craving for chocolate. I was fine even without the stevia, but that is because I love really dark, not very sweet chocolate.
    With coconut oil, you can also pour it in liquid form over something cold like ice cream, and it forms a nice chocolate shell. Maybe I’ll have to come up with a candida safe ice cream. (I do have an idea.) :)

    […] Replace the honey for stevia in this Dark Chocolate Pudding, or this amazing Strawberry Mousse. Or you might like to try my super simple sugar free homemade chocolate. […]
