There aren’t very many thing I love to eat more than chocolate. And this easy to make coconut oil chocolate is no exception!
Method:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract liquid
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder (optional)
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup cashew nut pieces (OR any other nut/seed you prefer)
- 1/2 cup sultanas (Or you could add any other dried fruit you like)
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil.
Once melted remove from heat.
Stir in the cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, coriander & turmeric.
I a small tray, measure out the cashews and sultanas.
Pour over the cocoa mixture and stir.
Spread the mixture out flat.
Freeze for 2 hours.
Break into pieces with the tip of a rounded knife.
Enjoy!
Always store in the freezer.
Notes:
- I use a metal try to freeze my chocolate. It measures 27cm long x 15cm wide x 2.5cm deep.
- Macadamia nuts are a great alternative to cashews.
- Desiccated/flaked coconut with sultanas is a great combination.
- If you don’t have vanilla extract liquid you can substitute for an extra teaspoon of maple syrup.
