Whether you're gifting or savoring it yourself, this soy-free chocolate is as versatile as it is delightful, offering a homemade spin on a classic favorite.
Begin by soaking the raisins in dark rum. Place them in a small bowl, cover with 100 ml of dark rum, and let them soak for at least 1 hour or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Place 200 grams of soy-free dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the bowl.
Prepare a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a couple of inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Place the bowl with chocolate and coconut oil on top, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
Gently melt the chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring occasionally until completely smooth and combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Drain the soaked raisins, reserving the rum, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Fold the raisins into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Line a small baking tray or dish with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate and raisin mixture onto the tray, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for added flavor.
Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for approximately 1-2 hours or until completely firm.
Once set, break or cut the chocolate into desired pieces. Serve as a treat or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
