HEALTHY ALMOND BUTTER CHOCOLATE
Simple ingredients, incredible results! This recipe proves you don't need a long list or fancy techniques to create delicious homemade chocolate.
Ingredients
- 6 oz honey, or 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup extra virgin coconut oil
- 1/2 cup almond butter (preferably home-made) *NB: If the nut butter is ‘raw’, this recipe can be classed as ‘raw’
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder (or good quality unsweetened cocoa powder)
Instructions
- Line a 20 x 24 cm (8 x 9.5 inch) slice tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Melt the honey, coconut oil and nut butter together in a small saucepan over very low heat. Add the cocoa and a pinch of sea salt, then whisk until smooth.
- Carefully pour into the slice tin, then place in the freezer for 1-2 hours to set (the longer it’s in the freezer, the firmer it sets).
- When the mixture has set, remove it from the tin, transfer to a flat surface and carefully peel off the baking paper. Using your hands, break the mixture into bite-sized pieces, or cut through with a knife.
- Transfer to an airtight container. The chocolate will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
