Yeah! you don’t have to stress about not eating chocolate now that you turned vegan. You can buy vegan/low-carb chocolate from the store but why don’t you just learn how to make yours in case they run out of stock or you are as exploring as me?
You only need a few ingredients;
- Cocoa butter
- Cocoa powder
- Vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice eg maple syrup
- Silicon mold
You can get all these at your local store but at least ensure they are organic. Every recipe that I give you calls for organic ingredients because I want you to enjoy the full benefits of chocolate. You can also contact us for the best-grade of chocolate products.
Moving on, you need a double boiler for this method. You can improvise yours by using a pot and a heat-resistant glass bowl.
- If you’re using the pot method, boil water in the pot and place the glass bowl inside. If you’re using the double boiler, just place the bowl on top and get straight to adding your ingredients
- Melt cocoa butter
- Add vanilla extract and stir the mixture
- Add cocoa powder and mix well until no lumps are left
- Add your sweetener and mix well
- Remove mixture from heat and pour into your silicon mold
- Wait for your chocolate to cool and take the shape of your mold
And that’s it! If you want to go extra with your chocolate bars feel free to add nuts, dried fruits, etc to your mixture just before pouring it into the mold. You can also add salt to balance the sweetness.
Let me know in the comments section how your vegan chocolate bar turned out and the shapes you created. You can do this with your kids, they will be so excited you can’t imagine.
