Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup edible cocoa butter
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar more can be used for a sweeter chocolate
  • 1 pinch sea salt or kosher salt

Equipment

  • 1 blade coffee grinder
  • 1 double boiler or bowl and pot to create double boiler
  • 1 food processor regular or mini
  • 1 silicone chocolate molds or parchment lined bread loaf pan

Method
 

  1. Pour coconut sugar in a coffee grinder. (Make sure it is a basic blade grinder and not a burr grinder.) Grind until the coconut sugar turns to a powder. Scrape out and place in a bowl.
  2. Melt the cocoa butter in a double boiler or in a bowl that is placed on top of a pot of boiling water.
  3. Add cocoa powder, coconut sugar powder, and a pinch of salt to the melted cocoa butter. Stir to mix.
  4. Pour the mixture into a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Do this as quickly as possible so the chocolate doesn't have time to harden.
  5. Quickly pour the chocolate into silicone molds or a parchment lined small pan. If using silicone molds, be sure to place them on a flat pan to keep the molds from bending.
  6. Place in the refrigerator to finish cooling for approximately one hour. Remove from molds and store in a container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If using a parchment lined pan, lift the parchment out of the pan to remove the chocolate and break into pieces.
