Tips for making the Best Vegan Chocolate-
Now that you know how to make the best ever vegan chocolate at home, we have some chocolate-making tips. The following suggestions might actually help you.
- Prep all your equipment and ingredients in advance to avoid any mistakes or delays in the process.
- Make sure you have the right consistency; add some more maple syrup if it’s too thick- not more than 2 tbsp.
- If you want raw vegan chocolates, use cacao powder and not cocoa powder.
- Temper (process of melting and cooling) the chocolate to get beautiful and shiny chocolate that snaps when you break it off.
- Remove it from the liners/molds and store them in an airtight container wrapped inside the baking paper. Enjoy them straight from the fridge for at least 2 weeks.
- Sprinkle some Himalayan pink salt or sea salt on the chocolate before putting it in the freezer.
- Instead of using cupcake liners, you can also go for different chocolate molds such as bars, hearts, rounds, etc.
Homemade Vegan Chocolate Variations-
Everyone loves chocolate, although everyone might prefer a different type, brand, or variation. So, below are a few things to put in chocolate that might take its taste to the next level.
- You can substitute the maple syrup with agave or refined coconut sugar as a sweetener in the chocolate recipe.
- I prefer cacao butter, but you could replace it with melted coconut oil. However, it will change the taste and flavor a bit.
- Use almond, hazelnut, or orange extract instead of vanilla extract for a strong and different flavor.
- Add nuts like chopped almonds, roasted hazelnuts, raisins, macadamia nuts, peanuts, cashews, or even fruits such as cranberries, raspberries, etc., to your homemade vegan chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Benefits:
- It has a decent amount of fiber and is loaded with iron, copper, magnesium, and other minerals.
- They are packed with powerful antioxidants that are greater than any other food.
- Chocolate increases the blood flow in the heart and arteries while also decreasing high blood pressure.
- This lowers the risk of stroke & cardiovascular disease and promotes lung health.
Why try the recipe?
Well, if you think chocolate is just junk food, you might not be aware of its health benefits. Apart from being rich, luxurious, and of course absolutely divine, they have also proven to be nutritious. Specifically, talking about Dark chocolate; they are made from cacao tree seed, making it the best source of antioxidants.
I would personally recommend making chocolate at home because it can be very beneficial compared to store-bought chocolates, which contain unhealthy additives like sugar and milk fat. Having chocolate in its purest form is the healthiest choice. Give SpicYum’s mere 5-ingredient Homemade Vegan Chocolate a try!
