Raw chocolates recipe

Total Time

Shelf Life
1 week in freezer -
Yield
10 small chocolates
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
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 RawtarianThese 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!

Just made these this morning and they were delicious. I did some plain, some with chopped almonds in and some with toasted dessicated coconut mixed in. Yum. All gone already so I know what I'll be doing again tomorrow morning!

Hi Marita - How much chocolate will this recipe make? Not much - enough for a small batch for 2 people. For honey, just substitute at a 1:1 ratio.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I made the haystacks before and they were great! Is there a secret to getting the chocolate out if the molds? Mine are all stuck! :)) thank you for any help!

Next time you could try lining the molds with saran wrap (plastic cling wrap) :)

I just made this recipe and filled some with raw caramel, some mixed with shredded coconut and some with orange essence. So incredible! I don't think I'll buy premade chocolate again when this is so good! And my 4 yr old loved it too. Thanks for such great recipes and ideas!

I tried this recipe with equal powder instead of agave necter, it is extremely bitter and unpleasant but I have no doubt this is because of the equal, I will make it again this time using agave necter

Hi Jess, yes, Equal will definitely NOT do the trick! Also, agave nectar is wet but Equal is dry, if I am not mistaken? So... that would have a negative effect as well

How can I stop it from melting so quickly once out the fridge or freezer? Thanks!

It's pretty much impossible to stop this recipe from melting since the reason it hardens in freezer is mostly do to with the coconut oil - which melts at room temp.

Hi, coconut oil will solidify when it's around (I think!) 27'C. So in winter the chocolate should remain in tact a lot better. In summer the coconut oil turns to liquid so there's no way you can keep them out of the fridge for long.
Yummy and easy recipe! I can't wait to start experimenting with different fillings and flavours! (like berries, nuts or even chilli!)

Well I haven't spent an hour licking the bowl since I was a child!
The mixture was delicious on its own.
I've made raw choc before with cacao butter in the past and the mix was very smooth and runny compared to the thick fudgyness of this one (thats normal, right?)
They're in the freezer now so time will tell how they turn out :)

Love a good bowl-licking! How'd they turn out, Apple?

I just added whole almonds and shredded coconuts..taste just like an almond joy. Made 4 small mounds. 1 a day as a treat. I was thinking of adding some to sliced bananas and freezing.

Could cocoa butter be used instead of the coconut oil? We have coconut allergies...

Raw chocolates recipe
I have used cocoa butter and it works fine. My favourite is one third cocoa butter and 2 thirds coconut oil.
