Easy homemade dark chocolate – only five ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil – one that is solid at room temp (105g)
  • 4 tbsp honey or more for taste (85g)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup unprocessed 100% cocoa powder or cacao powder (118g)

Instructions

  1. In a small pot over a low heat: melt the coconut oil.
  2. Stir in the honey, and salt.
  3. Remove the mixture from the heat. Add the cocoa powder and mix until it’s dissolved into the chocolate mixture. You should have a smooth, lump free chocolate sauce.
  4. Pour the chocolate into silicone moulds or a lined baking pan. Leave out at room temperature to cool and fully set. Once they’ve hardened pop them out of the moulds and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can also use cocoa butter in place of the coconut oil for a creamier chocolate.
  • Use maple syrup or agave for a vegan friendly chocolate. Use maple syrup for low FODMAP. Just keep in mind that maple syrup contains more water than honey and could leave you slightly grainy chocolate.
  • Keep chocolate stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Don’t pack the cocoa powder into a measuring cup – lightly scoop it into the cup until filled.
  • I no longer recommend cooling/setting in the fridge or freezer. Firming up at room temperature will take much longer, but the chocolate is much less likely to melt at room temp/in your hand this way.
