DIY: Easy vegan chocolate with dates
How can you make home made vegan chocolate with dates? The process is remarkably easy and fast! This recipe is my current favorite! I eat this vegan chocolate often just as a sweet dessert or use it as a topping on my breakfast bowls or add them to my sweetened hummus/ cookie dough style chickpea bowl
Ingredients
- 80 g dates
- 130 ml hot water for the soaking process
- 100 g coconut oil melted in a water bath
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 35 g cocoa powder
- Optional: 1 tsp of the superfood mix „Forever Beautiful“ or some other superfood powder
Instructions
- Let the dates soak in hot water for about 10 minutes
- Blend the dates (without the soaking water) with the melted coconut oil and the vanilla extract in a mixer
- Add cocoa powder and optionally 1 tbs of a superfood mix and blend it well together
- Fill the chocolate into any mold, Tupperware or muffin molds and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours
Notes
The vegan chocolate has to sit in a refrigerator for a few hours so the coconut oil can harden again. This chocolate will not be as crisp as a regular chocolate but will more likely have a chocolate candy texture. Nevertheless, this vegan chocolate is very tasty!
