Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Carob powder
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until fully liquefied. Be careful not to overheat it; you just want it melted.
Once the coconut oil has melted, turn off the heat and whisk in the carob powder until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
If you want to customize your chocolate, stir in any optional add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut at this stage.
Pour the mixture into a silicone chocolate mold or a small parchment-lined dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the mold or dish in the freezer and let it set for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
Once set, remove the chocolate from the mold or slice it into pieces if using a dish.
Store the carob chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness and enjoy as a healthy treat!
