Currently, I'm trying to stay off sugar. This comes with ONE major problem:
I freakin' love chocolate!!
Not because of the sweetness, but rather because of the bitter, rich and unmistakable flavor. Because of that, i would go for the 100% cacao. But this has also a draw back... It is quite pricey. (About 6$ for 100g!!!)
Therefore, i decided to make my own chocolate :) sugar free of course...
And this is how i did it:
I poured about 100g of cacao powder into a bowl and gradually added some coconut milk as well as some coconut oil to the mix. I mixed like crazy and tried to turn it into a smooth mass. Though i kind of failed. :) whoops...
It turned out to be a bit chunky... I figured that mixing like a honk would not help, if i haven't got the right composition. So i put the whole thing in a flat container, and shoved it into the freezer. After an hour it had become solid, and was ready for tasting...
And damn it was GOOOOOOD!! I would say it was even better than the chocolate i bought from the store. And about 5 times cheaper. So thats what i call a win-win.
The only thing is, that it turned out to look kind of funky. Next time i should probably use a recepie ;)
But nonetheless, if you want to try out a sugar free variation of chocolate, i can only recommend trying it for yourself. You will most likely do a better job than me turning it into a smooth mass. The ingredients i used are even a 100% VEGAN, for those who are into this kind of stuff :)
without further ado, Here is the final product, plus all the ingredients i used. I already munched some of it, as you can see in the top right corner of the container ;)
