Servings: 8 x8 pan of chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 cup 111 g cocoa powder, Dutched
- ¾ cup 160g virgin coconut oil, room temperature
- 2/3 cup canned coconut milk full fat is best
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup 125 g sifted 10x confectioner’s sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
Instructions
- For this recipe, you will need a double boiler or a chocolate melting pot which will slowly heat the chocolate without burning it. I also find that a food processor works best to integrate the ingredients.
- Start by combining the cocoa powder with the coconut oil in a large food processor or mixer. Mix until a paste is formed and there are no chunks of coconut oil remaining.
- Transfer to the double boiler or chocolate melting pot and heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until thinner and smooth. While the water in the lower pot will boil, do not let the chocolate mixture boil. Stir constantly until chocolate reaches 110°–115°F.
- Remove the top pan and place on a wire cooling rack or a towel to remove it from the counter's surface. Allow the chocolate to cool to around 90°–100°F.
- Return the mixture to the food processor or mixing bowl and mix while adding the Coconut Milk, vanilla extract, sugar and salt. Process until totally smooth like warm fudge.
- To make chocolate bars, transfer to an 8×8 baking pan (or smaller pan for thicker chocolate bars; bigger pan for thinner ones) lined with parchment or foil and smooth the top. Place in the freezer until set. The chocolate does not need to remain frozen once set, but if it is very warm outside, it will start to get softer (as chocolate does!).
- To make chocolate bark, follow this chocolate bark recipe, using your homemade coconut milk chocolate.
