Ingredients:

• 50 grams cacao butter

• 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup*

• 35 grams cacao powder

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract**

• Pinch sea salt

• Any toppings freeze dried fruit, spices, bee pollen, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Line a small/medium container with parchment paper and set aside. I use a bread tin.

• In a heat proof glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water (the bowl shouldn't touch the water), gently melt the cacao butter. 50 grams cacao butter

• Once the butter is melted, turn off the heat and whisk in the honey until fully incorporated and it becomes a smooth golden colour and the consistency of soft butter. If you don't whisk it for long enough you risk separation. 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup*

• Add the cacao powder, vanilla, and salt and whisk again until combined. 35 grams cacao powder,1 teaspoon vanilla extract**,Pinch sea salt

• Pour the chocolate into the lined container and immediately top with any desired toppings. Cool to room temperature before freezing, then break into pieces and store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to a month. Any toppings

NOTES * Sub maple syrup for the honey for a vegan (but not raw) version. Runny honey works better than creamed here but it doesn’t matter really. ** You can also use 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder, or cinnamon, or cardamom, or any spices you like.

Enjoy!
