Vegan Chocolates - Homemade

Angela at Oh She Glows writes: This recipe I’m sharing today does not result in a traditional hard/waxy chocolate like the bars that you’d buy at a store. Instead, it produces a fudge-like texture that melts in your mouth sending a wave of pure bliss throughout your body. It sounds dramatic because it is!

Ingredients

• 120 grams cacao/cocoa butter (about 1 cup of cacao butter chunks)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup room-temperature pure maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
• pinch of fine grain sea salt
• Flaked sea salt, for finishing

Preparation

Step 1

1. Gently melt the cacao butter in a pot over the lowest heat setting. Or you can use a double boiler.

2. Whisk all other ingredients (except flaked sea salt)  into the pot.

3. Pour into 12 silicone cups and sprinkle with flaked sea salt (optional). Alternatively, you can use paper liners (they will stick a tiny bit but will still peel off) or line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop spoonfuls all over the paper. Plastic chocolate molds may stick.

Simply drop a disc of vegan chocolate into a mug of steamed almond milk and stir until combined. This makes the creamiest, most delightful hot chocolate!
