So on my hunt to become gluten and dairy free I have felt deprived with no luck finding "my needs" met in retail stores. Sigh....However, this journey has most certainly turned my interest to the DIY culture. Which...by the way...is so fun, right? Sometimes it is nice to kick back and let others take care of us, but every now and then we all get a fire inside of us and are like GOSH DARNIT ILL DO IT MYSELF. I think that is what the DIY spirit comes from. Anyways, so chocolate...
I was feeling deprived since most chocolate bars have either dairy, sugar, or gluten all of which I try and stay away from.
So you are probably thinking, then what the heck are you talking about Sarai?
Well luckily I found a website called mywholefoodlife.com and I found the following recipe using only 3 items:
Coconut oil
- Cocoa powder
- A sweetener (i like Stevia) but you can choose yourself..
(I also like my chocolate salted so you can add this too)
Even ratios of oil to cocoa powder for example:
-1/4 cup coconut oil
-1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Sweeten to taste
Make sure you melt the coconut oil before measuring and whisk the cocoa powder thoroughly with no lumps.
Then put your chocolate into a mold.
You can purchase professional molds. However, I just use wax cupcake liners (had to google that for some reason, lol).
Freeze and then wala!
I have experimented with lots of flavors using the Stevia flavored tinctures at Sprouts Farmers Market.
Favorite so far is peppermint, tastes like a peppermint patty.
