Easy vegan dark chocolate bar recipe
Easy to make vegan chocolate bar recipe - with just 3 simple ingredients: cocoa powder, cocoa butter and natural sweetener.
Equipment
- chocolate bar mould or small baking tray
Ingredients
- 170 g cocoa butter or coconut oil
- 85 g agave nectar or other sugar syrups
- 170 g cocoa powder or raw cacao powder, carob powder
Optional
- 1/4 tsp vanilla paste or ground cinnamon or other spices
- tiny pinch of salt finely ground
Instructions
- Melt cocoa butter very gently in a bowl set over a saucepan with simmering water.
- Once the cocoa butter has melted, take the bowl from the heat and add cocoa powder. The best way to incorporate both ingredients is to use a whisk and just keep stirring until smooth.
- After that just add your agave syrup or other liquid sweetener and any flavourings or spices 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 chocolate bar moulds or small shallow baking 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.
