No, you did not read the title wrong. This chocolate has only three ingredients in it. You are three ingredients away from the richest, silkiest, smooth chocolate that is dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and actually healthy! Yes, you did read the last sentence correctly.
Raw honey and raw cacao powder round out the ingredients in this tasty chocolate. Both are also very healthy. Raw honey is an alkaline-forming food containing natural vitamins, enzymes, and powerful antioxidants. I talk about the superfood cacao powder in my post about raw brownies (you should give these brownies a try as well...WOW!!)
Overall, this chocolate will take you less than five minutes to throw together and it is super tasty! I chop it up and use it in everything from smoothies to cookies while also eating it plain. One of my favorite ways to enjoy this chocolate is with a smear of peanut butter on top, just saying. If you're a chocolate lover it's about time you made your own!
Three Ingredient Chocolate
1/4 cup coconut oil. melted
3-4 Tbsps raw honey, or liquid sweetener of choice*
1/2 cup raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
*use less honey for a more bitter chocolate, more for a sweeter chocolate
Directions:
1. Whisk together coconut oil, honey, cacao powder, and vanilla.
2. Pour onto one side a parchment lined baking sheet. Fold the other half on top of the melted chocolate pour and gently press and spread out until desired thickness/shape is reached.
3. Place in the refrigerator for at a least an hour before cutting. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
*This chocolate will melt if left in temperatures above 75 F because of the coconut oil.
BEAUTIFUL recipe! I LOVE IT!:) I just adore coconut in all ways and forms<3 This chocolate sounds delish! I wish I tolerated honey so I could enjoy it:) For now my recipe with stevia will have to do I suppose:) Just love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure stevia will work out great! You could even sub date paste, if they work for you. I love coconut in all forms as well :) Thanks for the wonderful comment!
DeleteAnother great recipe Margaret – so easy and super tasty. I used maple syrup (just 3 tbsps) and sprinkled chopped pecans and coconut on top before setting. What a delightful treat!

Oh, pecans YES! You can also take this in it's liquid state and pour it on ice cream or a frozen dessert for a chocolate shell topping. So many ways to enjoy this delicious chocolate!
