Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you are celebrating the day our Saviour came to earth.
I hope we are celebrating it with more than hot chocolate. I decided to do a bonus recipe on how to make chocolate. I know I wasn’t really posting much this year but I’ll make it my New year’s resolution to do so.
Chocolate
You’ll need; Cocoa powder,butter or coconut oil,sugar and vanilla extract.
1. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of sugar. Adjust the sugar to your taste.
2. Gradually add your coconut oil or melted butter (about 1/2 cup) to the cocoa powder mixture. Stir well until you get a smooth paste.
3. Add a splash of vanilla extract ( about 1 spoon) for flavor. You can also experiment with other flavorings like almond extract or spices.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust the flavorings or sweetness if needed.
5. Pour the mixture into molds or spread it onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
6. Place the molds or baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until the chocolate hardens.
7. Remove the harden chocolate from the molds or break into smaller pieces.
8. Serve and enjoy a chocolatey Christmas with your family.
