COCONUT AND SEA BUCKTHORN RAW CHOCOLATE

So a couple of months ago a friend of mine A. came to visit me in Austria from London. I had just read up on these Arctic Power Berries and asked her to bring me one of each.

Of course I automatically wanted to make something with the powders and as you may or may not know my family loves chocolate, so what better thing to make than some yummy chocolate.

In the end I didn't spread out the liquid equally so some bits of my chocolate bar were very bitter whilst the other bits were nice and sweet :D

Here the recipe and some photos:


1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cacao powder
3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
banana/coconut chips
 1 tbsp sea buckthorn powder (or cranberry or blueberry!)
add sea salt if you wish!

1. Melt the coconut oil in low heat and remove from the heat as soon as it is melted
2. Add the cacao powder and whisk until they are completely combined
3. Add honey/maple syrup, crushed banana/coconut chips, sea buckthorn powder (and sea salt if you wish!)
4. Pour the chocolate into moulds or on a baking sheet and let it set in the fridge for about 15 minutes

This recipe is fully vegan, gluten feee, raw and refined sugar free! (Yuhuu nice and healthy)

I ended chopping the chocolate up and adding bits to my müsli or yoghurts :) 

Here are the ingredients I used


This is what the melted chocolate looked like


This is what it looked like before I put it in the fridge, as I said not spread equally :/


All in all I was quite happy with the result, it's something I've never tried before but enjoyed making as it goes super quickly and is super easy to make :) I'll definitely try making this again in the near future!
