Homemade Dark Chocolate

Courtesy of Val, a DSP member.

Ingredients
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 – 1/2 cup organic cocoa powder
1/4 cup coconut milk
dash of Celtic Sea Salt
1 teaspoon organic vanilla
Stevia to taste

Directions
1. Heat the oil on med/high to thin it out; then add cocoa, coconut milk, vanilla, salt. It will thicken when you add the coconut milk so keep it warm while you add stevia a little bit at a time. (If you are using the steviva concentrated powder, just use a little dusting at a time and keep tasting it. If you add too much it will be more bitter. You can always add a little more coconut milk if it gets too sweet.)
2. Once you are satisfied with the taste, take it off the heat and pour it into molds or spread on a small plate and freeze. Even if left at room temp if will harden because of the coconut oil.
3. You can add other ingredients to the chocolate before letting it set – coconut, almonds, walnuts, etc.

Enjoy!

*Val made peanut butter cups by coating tiny muffin tins along the bottom and sides and then putting a small amount of peanut butter in the center and covering the top with more chocolate.
