Make your own chocolate that is good for you! It's so quick and easy using our new Cacao Melts
Use a double boiler for this recipe. If you don’t have a double-boiler then you can place a stainless steel bowl over a saucepan of boiling water (make sure the water does not come right up to the bowl).
Boil water in the saucepan. Place double boiler or bowl over the top.
Add all ingredients together and stir for 20 minutes or until the sugar has melted.
For different variations as above, simply add your favourite food or oil at the end and stir through before placing in mould or dish to set.
Please note – The ideal temperature is 37 degrees, if you have a cooking thermometer then place this in the double boiler to maintain an ideal temperature.
Place sugar and salt in TM bowl and grind on speed 10 - 1minute.
Place cacao melts in TM bowl grind 10 seconds speed 5, scrape down sides and lid.
Add coconut oil and mix for 4 seconds on speed 4.
Cook at 37C speed 3, 20 minutes
Place in moulds or make a slab in a rectangle baking dish lined with baking paper, place in fridge to set.
