Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Dark chocolate (vegan, at least 70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 75 grams Raisins
- 4 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by placing the raisins in a small bowl. Pour the dark rum over the raisins and let them soak for at least an hour, preferably overnight, to absorb the rum flavor fully.
Once the raisins are ready, prepare a double boiler by filling a small pot with water and bringing it to a gentle simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is well combined.
Drain the rum-soaked raisins and fold them into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Line a small baking dish or tray with parchment paper, and pour the chocolate mixture into it, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for at least 1-2 hours, or until completely firm.
Once set, remove the chocolate from the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Store the vegan rum and raisin chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
