Simple Raw Chocolate Recipe

The Simple Raw CHOC Recipe is the basis for unleashing your CHOCCreativity. It's a simple recipe that takes minutes to make and 2 hours to set in the fridge or half an hour in the freezer.

All you need are the ingredients found in your CHOC Chick Kit and 2 moulds or ice cube trays (preferably silicone moulds*). Feel free to experiment with this basic recipe by adding a range of different flavours and extra ingredients like dried fruit, nuts, flavoured essences, chilli powder and liquors. The only real limitation is to take care not to overheat the raw cacao butter and raw cacao powder.

The Simple Raw CHOC Recipe makes around 32 chocolates (if using 2 silicone moulds trays)

Add all the following ingredients together into a bowl, place over a pan of hot water (Bain Marie or Baño Maria in Spanish) and melt over a low heat. Ensure all utensils and the bowl are dry before the ingredients are added as water can cause the mix to separate.

• 100g CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Butter
• 6 level Tablespoons CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Powder
• 2-3 Tablespoons CHOC Chick Agave Syrup
• 1 Small pinch of rock salt (good quality sea salt totally lifts the chocolate flavour)

Use a metal balloon whisk to mix the ingredients while they melt (wooden spoons don’t blend as well). Taste the mix once melted and add more Agave if you prefer a sweeter taste.

The CHOC mix tastes delicious plain but there is always room for some CHOCcreativity, so feel free to add some chilli powder for Chilli Chocolates or peppermint essence or vanilla extract, orange peel, coffee or orange liquors are all things that can be added. Our CHOC Chick favourite combination has got to be sprinkling in some crushed cardamom seeds and sea salt (absolutely amazing!!).

Once you have the right taste, pour into ice cube trays, silicone moulds or even take away tubs to make fabulous raw chocolate bars. Place in the freezer and leave to set for 20mins to half an hour.

Keep in the fridge or freezer and eat to your hearts content.

*The reason we prefer Silicone Moulds is because they are long lasting, maintain their shape, are easy to clean (dishwasher safe) and don't absorb any smells or colours.
