Easy homemade chocolate recipe

Easy homemade chocolate recipe with just 3 ingredients ! - Just mix,pour n freeze !!

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Chocolate

Serves: 10 nos

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Cook time: 60 Minutes

Total time: 65 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Coconut oil - 1/4 cup ( in liquid form at room temp)
Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup
Honey or maple syrup - 2- 3 tbsp
Salt - a dash
**Peanut butter – 1 tsp (to suppress coconut oil flavor,optional)

METHOD

Keep all the ingredients ready.Coconut oil should be in liquid form.not frozen.In a bowl,mix all the 3 ingredients adding a dash of salt.Mix well with a whisk.Make sure there are no lumps.Mix it well for a minute.( u can add a tsp of peanut butter to suppress the smell of coconut oil,i din’t do this step)

The mixture would be runny while u pour into the moulds.That’s just right.It should not be thick.
Pour into chocolate mould or a small muffin liner lined with parchment paper.No need to line if u use chocolate mould.U can use wider bowls too but it takes longer time to set.

Cover the mould or bowl with a cling wrap or polythene sheet.It helps to prevent ice formation on top of chocolate.Freeze it for an hour and Viola,Ur chocolate is ready.After an hour,remove the mould and gently tap it.Chocolates will come out easily !

Consume immediately because it may melt in ur hand !

Note

Most important thing is coconut oil should be in melted form.If ur oil is frozen,heat it lightly,cool and bring it to room temperature.Then u can mix with other ingredients.If u don’t follow this step,this chocolate will become a super flop.
Also while mixing,there should not be any lumps at all.The mixture would be runny while u pour into the moulds.That’s just right.It should not be thick.
Adjust the quantity of honey as per ur taste buds.I used nearly 2.5 tbsp.Lick the mixture in between and check for taste before u pour them in moulds.
These chocolates have slight coconut oil smell while eating.If u don’t like them,add 1 tsp of peanut butter when u try it next time.Do not add too much.But i don't think oil flavour would be suppressed ;).I think u can add some vanilla essence or chocolate essence to remove the smell.Hope it woks !
For variations,u can add chopped nuts in the bottom of mould and pour the chocolate mixture over it.
Please do not substitute coconut oil with butter or any other oil.It won’t work.
If u want to use other sweeteners,u can go for powder stevia ( i don’t think u get this in India)
I got around 10 small pieces using chocolate mould.If u use mini muffin pans,u may need to use one pan with 12 mini muffins.
I got one more recipe from the comments section.People in abroad can try this too ..Mix equal parts of coconut oil, raw cocoa, a little liquid chocolate stevia & mix it up.Pour them in mini muffin cups.U can sprinkle unsweetened coconut or add a teeny dollop of almond butter or chopped nuts.( Source : TONYA BALLEW in comments section)
I also tried adding melted butter and coconut oil in equal quantity to reduce coconut oil flavor.But it was stuck to the mould and i felt difficult to remove.So i guess this recipe works the best with coconut oil.
