Cook Time 20 minutes
Chilling time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 170 g cacao butter melted
  • 85 g agave nectar
  • 170 g cacao powder

Optional

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla powder
  • pinch of salt finely ground

Instructions
 

  • 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.
