Love for Chocolates!

Making raw chocolates is like creating art. I realized how easy raw chocolate bars, truffles, macaroons, fudge and all other chocolate goodies are to make. You just need the two base ingredients (which are raw cacao powder and cacao butter) to start off with, then you add whichever spices, natural sweetener (agave, maple syrup..etc) and that's it! A piece of cake! ;)

Fay (Twin sister), absolutely loves chocolate and this recipe I made for her last time she came to Montreal at my boyfriend and I's apartment. Here are the ingredients:

-Raw Cacao powder

-Raw cacao butter

-Agave

-Coconut oil

-cayenne

-cinnamon

-walnuts (chopped finely)

-sprouted and dehydrated buckwheat

First of all, you need to have your cacao butter melt so that it's at it's liquid state. You can put this by putting the chunks of butter in a bowl then inserting in your dehydrator for a couple of minutes or just put that bowl in another that contains warm water. (That's the quickest way to do it). 

Once the butter is liquid mix into it your cacao powder, spices and oils. Finally, once it is all one smooth mixture, add in the other ingredients.

Pour into chocolate molds, or if you don't have a mold, just take a cake pan, put a plastic film in it and pour over. 

Let sit in fridge for about 15-20 minutes for the chocolates to become solid. If there is still left after you've tasted (which would be surprising... these ones were gone in minutes!), I would suggest you leave them in fridge for conservation.

In the pictures, you will see that our chocolates could have stayed a bit longer in the fridge but Fay and I were to excited and couldn't wait any longer.. haha!

The crunchy texture from the buckwheat and walnuts was a really interesting addition. We devoured them! 

Love Always,
