Ingredients
- 1/2 c Coconut oil
- 1/4 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Stevia
Instructions
-
Pour 1/2 c coconut oil into a small mixing bowl.
-
Using a sieve, add cocoa powder to the coconut oil, and whisk to combine well. The sieve is a very useful tool in this step as it makes sure that the powder blends evenly with the oil.
-
Once the coca powder is fully blended into the coconut oil, add a few dashes/drops of liquid or powdered stevia until you reach the desired sweetness. Please note that other sweeteners (such as honey or agave syrup) can be used, but keep in mind that they don’t blend as well with the oil. If you substitute a different sweetener, make sure that you continue whisking throughout the entire process to make sure that the flavors stay blended.
-
Pour chocolate mix into small silicone molds or small paper muffin cups.
-
Put the molds or cups in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes.
