Recipe Directions

  • 1. If coconut oil is hard/solid place it oil in a bowl. Then place bowl inside a BIGGER bowl that is filled with hot water so that it will melt. Don't mix them together, though! You just want to liquify the pure coconut oil for use in this raw chocolates recipe.
  • 2. Blend all raw chocolates recipe ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Must use a blender!! (Hand mixing or whisking will not be enough to properly combine the ingredients.)
  • 3. As fast as you can, place chocolate mixture in chocolate molds to be set in the freezer (or pour into a small glass baking dish to set in the fridge until set). Do not let it sit! (Ingredients will seperate if you are too slow.)
  • 4. Freeze for at least 3 hours (ideally longer). Store in freezer at all times.
  • 5. Once frozen, enjoy! (If not using molds, cut into bars after they are solidly frozen.)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

These raw chocolates are super easy to make and all you need is a blender and a freezer.

Your chocolates must be kept in the freezer all the time, otherwise they will melt :)

I recently updated the photography for this recipe. I used these adorable little silicone chocolate molds to get such cute little chocolate squares. They turned out perfectly!

Also, in the pictures you can see there is some discoloration from where the coconut oil seperated a little bit. Don't sweat it, they still taste to die for.

Lastly, you can definitely halve this recipe for a smaller batch.

Tip: You must be ready to pour these into your molds immediately after blending! Do not let the recipe sit at all, or it will separate. Speed is of the essence!

I am about to make this in my nutrition club. There has been so much controversy about using Agave Nectar. Help! Is it really bad for you?

Wonderful recipe. I loved the flavour! Just one thing, mine never hardened. After a whole day and night in the freezer, they are still soft, more like a tootsie roll that is about to melt. Could this be because I used honey?

Hi Laura-Jane!

Yes, I did use the coconut oil. Perhaps I took too long in placing the mixture into the mold? I will try to make it again, this time using a flat square mold. I ended up using my chocolate on top of one of your cakes! It turned out delicious :-D Would you recommend using less amounts for this recipe? Just so I can try it again without using too much ingredients.

Hope you are enjoying your day!

Oh! Another thought - was your maple syrup cold (refrigerated)? Sometimes that can impact it as well

I love these so much! You are definitely right about using a blender, that batch was squishy and off but still got eaten. Thanks for the recipe, I can't make them as often as I like because we have gone through a ton of coconut oil, cacao powder and maple since discovering the possibilities.

I had no problems with the recipe as written. I tripled the batch and poured the liquid chocolate into my silicone molds. In an hour they were solid and I popped them out of the molds. They turned out so pretty, not to mention guilt free deliciousness!!! I do know that chocolate is fussy and if you accidentally get even a drop of water in the chocolate, it won't stay creamy.

Sorry just to add, I note i mentioned agave syrup instead of your recipe which calls for maple syrup. But it is still the same idea. Try raw cacao butter, raw cacao powder, a sweetener of choice, and temper it, you should get some really nice bars. Try mix of 250g of butter to 120-130 g of cacao. good luck!

Without being too rude, your pictures of raw chocolate appears to have what is called 'bloom' it could have been caused by incorrect temperatures, or by not tempering your chocolate, which would appear to be the case if your chocolate has no snap or melts if it left un-refridgerated. I would try tempering your chocolate properly and bring it to 42d so it stays 'raw'. I would also recommend using dry ingredients to make your chocolate since agave syrup may not help in the setting of the chocolate either.. you could try xylitol as an alternative sweetener to sugar! Properly tempered chocolate will ease out of the mould without any effort at all, anyone having this difficulty should temper their raw chocolate first. Hope that helps a bit. There is plenty on line about tempering.

Hi! Just noticed the recipe says 1-week shelf life in the freezer. I have some I made over a week ago and it still tastes great... Why does it go bad? I'm making some for Christmas gifts so want to figure it out! :) Thank you! Awesome recipe.
