The basic vegan chocolate recipe
Magdalena Marsden
Easy to make and delicious to eat - with just 3 simple ingredients: cocoa powder, coconut butter or cocoa butter and natural sweetener.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Chilling time 20 minutes mins
- 170 g cacao butter melted
- 85 g agave nectar
- 170 g cacao powder
Optional
- 1/4 tsp vanilla powder
- pinch of salt finely ground
Melt cacao butter very gently in a bowl set over a saucepan with simmering water.
Once the cacao butter has melted, take the bowl from the heat and add cacao powder. The best way to incorporate both ingredients is to use a whisk and just keep stirring until smooth.
After that just add your sweetener and any flavourings you choose to use.
To temper the chocolate (at least a little bit...) keep whisking the chocolate mixture until it thickens a little and the temperature goes down to about 30 -32 C.
After that pour your chocolate into moulds or shallow tray.
If you are adding any toppings, add them now and gently tap the tray to sink them in a little.
Place into fridge for 30 min or until the chocolate is set.
