Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup good quality Cocoa Powder
- 80g Cocoa Butter (available from health food stores)
- 1/4 cup Dextrose Syrup (see instructions below)
Making the sweet Liquid:
In a small
saucepan combine 1 cup The Sugar Breakup Dextrose with 1 cup water.
Stir until the
dextrose has dissolved then boil gently on a low/medium heat for about 10
minutes until the quantity has reduced to 1 cup in total and it has turned into
a slightly syrupy consistency.
Making the Chocolate:
Place the cocoa
butter in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and stir until
just melted.
Add the cocoa
powder and ¼ cup of the sweet liquid then using a stick blender combine all the
ingredients until smooth.
Presentation of the Chocolate:
We spread the
chocolate out on a sheet of baking paper and dotted mixed nuts making it a bar.
You could make
plain chocolate and break it up for choco chips, give the chocolate a sprinkle
of sea salt (sounds weird but sea salt and chocolate are fantastic together).
Add a dash of coffee or, to be extra fancy, pipe it into moulds.
If you’re using
moulds then we recommend using silicon based moulds which work better when it’s
time to take the chocolate out.
