Recipe – Maca Dark Chocolate Bar

Ever since I began experimenting with making my own healthier versions of chocolate bars, I have yet to purchase the store bought kind! My partner loves them too 🙂

Recipe – Maca Dark Chocolate Bar

What you’ll need

• Chocolate bar mold like this one.
• Small sauce pan
• Metal or glass mixing bowl
• Measuring spoons

Ingredients

• 50g raw cacao butter
• 2-3 tablespoons coconut sugar, depending on sweetness preference
• 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 1 tablespoon gelatinous maca
• 1 tablespoon mesquite powder

Method

• Melt the raw cacao butter in a heat proof bowl, by placing it in a pan filled with a small amount of water and then heating.
• While the cacao butter is melting, prepare your mold by sprinkling toppings of your choice into the empty mold. (I really like flaked sea salt, goji berries and cacao nibs.)
• Dissolve the coconut sugar and add raw cacao, maca, & mesquite powder, stir to combine.
• Remove from heat. Pour chocolate mixture into mold and carefully place in freezer. Leave there for approximately 15 minutes or until set. Store bars in refrigerator or freezer.

Enjoy!
