Ciocolata raw cu caju Raw Vegan Cashew Chocolate

Raw Vegan Chocolate

Homemade raw chocolate made with just a handful of ingredients: cashews, cocoa butter, cocoa powder and a natural sweetener of your choice. It sets in about an hour in the fridge.

Choose Serving Size 6

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup cashews raw
  • 2 Tbsps cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp honey or agave or maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsps cocoa butter raw, or coconut oil
  • ½ tsp rum optional
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Put the cashews in the blender or food processor and pulse until they reach a flour-like consistency.
  • Melt the cocoa butter (or coconut oil, whichever you prefer) until it has a creamy, pourable consistency. I preheated the oven, then turned it off, opened the door and left the butter inside for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the melted cocoa butter, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt and your sweetener of choice over the cashew flour in the food processor. Blend well together.
  • Line a rectangular form (I used a rectangular tart form) with plastic foil. Add the chocolate mixture and press and spread it out evenly.
  • Place in the fridge for at least an hour to set.

Notes

Store in the fridge in an airtight container. For a fully vegan version, use agave or maple syrup instead of honey.
