Choose your fillings ⁠ ⁠ Making your own chocolate gives you the chance to experiment with different flavours and textures. And, it's a lot easier than you would think.⁠ ⁠ @ugne_bakes has used Food Thoughts Organic Cacao Powder and Cacao Nibs to make these beautiful raw vegan chocolate bars. Check out Ugne's recipe and method below ️⁠ ⁠ INGREDIENTS (makes 3 chocolate bars)⁠ CHOCOLATE BAR:⁠ 120g Raw cacao butter⁠ 75g Food Thoughts Natural 100% Cacao Powder⁠ 75g Meridian Maple syrup⁠ Pinch of fine sea salt⁠ ⁠ YOUR CHOICE OF FILLINGS:⁠ Handful of dried white mulberries⁠ 1tbsp Food Thoughts Natural 100% Cacao Nibs⁠ Roughly chopped pistachios⁠ Dried cranberries⁠ 1tbsp Natural crunchy peanut butter⁠ Generous pinch coarse sea salt⁠ ⁠ METHOD⁠ - Place all of the chocolate bar ingredients into a large heat proof bowl. ⁠ - Pop the bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water and whisk with a hand whisk until smooth and melted (be careful not to submerge the bowl, it should rest on the edges of the pan). ⁠ - Pour some of the melted chocolate onto the bottom of your chocolate block mould and spread it evenly. (If you don’t have one then you can improvise by double lining a square or bread loaf tin with cling film).⁠ - You can then add your fillings, eg, cacao nibs, dollops of crunchy peanut butter, sea salt flakes, dried fruit, chopped nuts... ⁠ - Pour the remaining chocolate on top⁠ - Place the moulds or tins in the fridge for at least an hour to set.⁠ ⁠ Have you made your own chocolate before?
