Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free, at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 milliliters Coconut cream
- 60 grams Raisins
- 50 milliliters Dark rum
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Start by soaking the raisins in the dark rum. Combine them in a small bowl and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before you start the recipe. This allows the raisins to absorb the rum and plump up.
Prepare a bain-marie by filling a pot with a small amount of water and bringing it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring the water does not touch the bowl.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in the heatproof bowl. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
Once the chocolate has melted, add the coconut cream and stir well until combined to create a smooth and glossy mixture.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Remove the bowl from the heat and add in the rum-soaked raisins, including any remaining rum in the bowl. Stir everything together until the raisins are evenly distributed through the chocolate.
Line a small baking tray or loaf tin with parchment paper.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely for about 3 hours or until it is firm to the touch.
Once set, remove the chocolate from the tray and cut it into squares or bars as desired.
Store the rum and raisin chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve chilled and enjoy!
