Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil: Place the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat and let it melt completely until it is fully liquefied without boiling or burning.
- Mix ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Pour mixture: Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into candy molds or a tray lined with parchment paper, spreading evenly if using a tray.
- Refrigerate: Place the molds or tray in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is set, pop it out of the molds or slice it into pieces from the tray and enjoy your homemade dark chocolate.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer flavor.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Store the chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of almond or coconut milk before pouring into molds.
- Ensure the coconut oil does not overheat to prevent a burnt taste.
