Dairy Free Homemade Chocolate Bark
Quick and easy dairy free chocolate bark recipe - make this yummy coconut oil chocolate in minutes - fun cooking project for kids - vegan gluten free no refined sugar.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 100 g coconut oil
- 6 tbs cocoa powder
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Handful raisins (Optional)
- Handful pecan nuts halves (Optional)
Instructions
- Line a small baking tray with baking paper. The tray should be small enough to fit into your fridge or freezer.
- Measure out the coconut oil and drop into a heat-proof jug. Pop into the microwave and heat at short 10-15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the oil has completely melted and is clear.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla essence to the coconut oil. Quickly stir until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour all of the chocolate onto the prepared baking tray and spread out over the tray with the back of the spoon.
- Working quickly, scatter the raisins and nuts (if using) evenly over the top of the chocolate.
- Place the baking tray into the fridge or freezer until set, which should only take around 10 minutes or so. Once set, break or cut the slab of chocolate into smaller pieces.
- Store in an airtight box in the fridge until ready to eat – after a while in a warm room this chocolate will melt and get quite soft.
Notes
I used raisins which added a little extra pop of sweetness and pecan nuts because that's what I had to hand that day, but you could use any dried fruit or nuts or leave them out altogether if you’d prefer the chocolate to be plain.
