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!

Hi Jen, careful re: gifts, they melt when not frozen!! They would keep longer, they just might get freezer burn if left too long.

Hi Celmah, not many! Perhaps 4 or 5? Subtle flavor is best :)

I am having problems with my chocolates sticking to the silicone molds. They do not pop out whole, but leave a good bit of the chocolate behind....I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I tried using a combo of cacao butter with the melted coconut oil hoping that the candy would freeze a bit harder but that didn't work either! Any suggestions?

Hi Sandy,
What shape are your molds? If they are too complicated and textured then more choco will stick.
Also, are you being patient and waiting a long time before trying to remove them from the freezer? :)

Raw chocolates recipe
My chocolate mixture separated just like described in previous reviews despite following the recipe to the T.
HOWEVER, I filled the mix into my chocolate molds and froze it anyways and the end result was dark chocolate TOFFEE! The texture was amazing and I can only imagine what happens if I add a little coffee flavor.... YUM! :)

Hi Christina! Glad you found the silver lining in this one. Did you use a blender?

Raw chocolates recipe
I did use a blender. And I think the coconut oil is the culprit. I used unrefined coconut oil in my chocolate to get the extra coconut flavor and when I used the unrefined coconut oil in your superfood brownie recipe a similar oiliness happened that did not happen when I used refined coconut oil)...

Hi Christina!
Thanks for coming back and explaining - that makes sense to me.
I just remade the recipe a few days ago, and it was super tasty. (I use refined coconut oil.)

Raw chocolates recipe
Thank you for this super, simple & raw chocolate recipe.
I made a batch today and froze them for the hour described,
but I had the 'will it stick to the plastic molds of the
ice container?' thought come through, and yep it did!
Should i have lined it with a paper?
It tasted super!!!!

Hey Chad! Yes, you answered your own question very correctly :) Next time line with parchment paper (if you aren't using silicone molds that you can pop out and reverse - this is the easiest way to do it)

Raw chocolates recipe
I came across this recipe after trying a similar recipe that used palm sugar which i wanted to substitute with agave syrup. Unfortunately i didn't have the success i had hoped. I melted down the coconut mass which was bought in bottles in a pan of water. I then then placed a bowl over the heating water and added the coconut oil and the agave syrup and they appeared to float above one another. I continued to heat them together whilst stirring in the hope that the liquids would blend. They still remained partly separated but added the cocoa powder. At this point the chocolate mixed together smooth, but then quickly got thicker and eventually formed a blob with what i guess was the coconut oil separated from the mass in the bowl. I am not sure i got the measurements when substituting the ingredients. I think i will try your ratios next time and hope for the best.

Raw chocolates recipe
Hello Graham, It sounds like you burnt the chocolate as the oil was maybe too hot. Once the oil is melted it doesnt need heating, i melted the oil in a bowl of hot water, then removed from bowl of hot water, added the cocoa, then the agave syrup, worked a treat. Hope it works for you next time!

Hi Graham, Thanks for sharing your experience. Perhaps maple syrup would do better for this recipe?
