Making homemade chocolate is surprisingly simple and incredibly satisfying. Start by gently melting 1/2 cup of coconut oil or cocoa butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, whisk in 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined tray, and sprinkle with your favorite toppings like sea salt, nuts, or dried fruit. Let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour until set, then break into pieces and enjoy your rich, homemade chocolate!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or cocoa butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: chopped nuts, dried fruit, sea salt, or espresso powder for extra flair
Instructions:
- Melt the Base: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut oil or cocoa butter until fully liquid.
- Add the Cocoa: Stir in the cocoa powder, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
- Sweeten Things Up: Add the powdered sugar gradually, tasting as you go. Stir until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Flavor Boost: Mix in the vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of salt. Optional additions like espresso powder or cinnamon can add unique twists!
- Pour and Set: Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle with toppings if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until solid. Pop out of molds or break into chunks. Store in the fridge for best texture.
Pro Tips:
- For ultra-smooth chocolate, sift the cocoa powder and sugar.
- Try flavored extracts like peppermint or almond for seasonal versions.
- Want it creamier? Add a splash of milk or cream before setting.
