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!

Raw chocolates recipe
Not sure what happened with this recipe but it did not work, no matter how much I mixed. I used all the same ingredients and exact measurements, but like someone else said, the oil did not mix with the rest of the ingredients. It was super oily and in the end, my chocolate was a sort of chunky mess, even while heating it in a double boiler of sorts.
I used what I could while trying to remove the puddles of oil and used it to coat some dried fruit which looks super bumpy and so not pretty. After I gave up on this mess, I will end up using all that leftover chocolate mix for something else in an attempt to salvage the ingredients.

Hi Maris,
Strange! Thanks for your feedback - did you use honey?

Nope, I used pure maple syrup.

Maris,
most raw chocolate recipes are very similar to this one. So when I went raw, for the longest time I had the same results as you with raw liquid chocolate. What I have taken to is using raw yacon syrup because it has a thicker, molasses-like texture that binds a little better than maple. Also, make sure your coconut oil is liquid before mixing. When it gets too oily or isn't mixing well, add cocoa butter or coconut butter to make it thicker and cohesive. You'll get the hang of it though. I am sure most would agree when I saw that raw food takes determination, patience, and a willingness to deviate from the plan :)

Hi,
May I ask if it's ok to leave out vanilla extract?
Thanks.

For healthy plain chocolate you can try carob instead. I mix 1 teaspoon of coconut oil with 3 teaspoons of carob and a bit of cinnamon, spread it on a tin foil pop it in a freezer for 10 mins and delicious portion of chocolate is born without the side effects of cocoa ...

Raw chocolates recipe
I'm from Malaysia and where I come from, I can't seem to find carob anywhere around here so I stick to raw cacao. Well, it doesn't matter. This raw chocolate recipe is now my household staple and I can't seem to live without it. No more junk desserts for me, just pure natural raw desserts from now on. More satisfying!

Super intrigued Kristina, by side effects of cocoa do you mean anything other than the energy hit?

Raw chocolates recipe
Aloaha your Rawness,
i was wondering how to make my chocolate solid at room temps. it's hot here in the Maui jungle, but i see the local HFS Mana has lots of raw chocolate options that don't melt as fast as mine.
can i use ground flax or chia?
btw, i made my 1st batch here with SuCaNat that is ground in my coffee grinder with hemp seeds to make it more like milk chocolate and uses ice cube trays. next time i'm going to try our kid's playdoh molds!

Hello your Calebness,
I have no idea how they do that either! I really must find this out.
Luckily, or unluckily, because I am in snowy Canada we don't have quite the same heat issues as you do in the Maui jungle! (sounds like an exciting place to be) Although, of course, mine melts at room temp too

Raw chocolates recipe
I'm absolutely addicted to using coconut oil for my recipes too. It not only makes everything much more flavorful, but apparently healthier that other oils or butter.

Definitely Natali. And I love the fact that it hardens when cooled.

I absolutely love this recipe! The consistency of the chocolate is perfect! I add goji berries and almonds or cashews to mix it up.
Thank you for your amazing recipes!

My pleasure Chantal. Love your mixins for that added crunch!! Especially goji berries. I haven't had them in the house for a long time - probably because I am trying to curb my grocery bill a bit. But I think I need to swing by the HFS and pick some up cause now I have a hankering!

Raw chocolates recipe
Oh my gosh this is delicious! I ate 1/4 of it before work, super charged for the day!
One question- the honey and oil didn't really mix together, so some were really sticky with honey and others not so sweet. Should I heat the honey? Thanks.

Hi Melanie - Were you wired at work? lol
Honey is a bit trickier than maple syrup in this recipe.
