chocolade!

Ik heb vandaag voor de eerste keer geprobeerd mijn eigen suiker-en zuivelvrije chocolade te maken en ik ben heel erg blij met het resultaat! Het is heel makkelijk en het smaakt ook nog eens super lekker. Het recept is alleen een beetje "op gevoel" en een beetje afhankelijk van hoeveel je wilt maken of hoe sterk je de chocolade wilt hebben. Dus:
smelt de kokosnootolie au bain marie ( ik heb ongeveer 3 tot 4 grote EL gebruikt). Als het gesmolten is meng er (raw) cacao poeder door: doe dit naar eigen smaak/sterkte. Zoet het daarna met bijvoorbeeld agavesiroop, ook naar eigen smaak. Verdeel het mengsel daarna over siliconen ijsblokjes vormpjes, daar kun je ze later makkelijk uit drukken. Vul de chocolade met dingen die je lekker vind zoals rozijnen, cranberries of noten. Laat zeker 3 uur hard worden in de koelkast. Geniet ervan!

For the first time I tried to make my own sugar-and milk-free chocolate and I'm very happy with the result! It's very easy to do and it taste delicious. The recipe depends a bit how you like it or how much chocolate you want to make, so:
melt coconutoil in a bain-marie (a double boiler), I used about 3 to 4 tablespoons. If the coconutoil is melted add (raw) cocoa to it and agave-syrup to sweeten it up. Both things depend how strong or how sweet you want it to be... I used silicon ice-cupe forms for the chocolate, so you get nice, small pieces and it's easy to get the chocolate out of. You can fill the chocolate with all kinds of stuff you like: raisins, cranberries or nuts. Put the chocolate at least 3 hours in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
