Carnivore #6 : Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate



2 ingredients :


butter / 1 block


cacao powder / 1 tbsp




Optional



creamier 

add milk powder / 1 tbsp



sweeter 

add raw honey / drizzle

at own discretion



flavour and aroma

add vanilla essence / 1 tsp


Step 1 : Melt the butter.


I'm using the rice cooker.


Here are the chocolate moulds.


My cacao powder just arrived

the day before.


The butter is melting.


Stir gently ...


Bubbles are forming and dancing

about in the pot.


Keep stirring in slow,

steady movements.



The butter is browning.



I can see tiny dots of

brown sediments at the bottom.



The cooker turns off

at this point.



About 10 minutes later

from the start.


Step 2 : Add the cacao powder.


Add the options here too, 

if any.


1 tbsp of cacao powder.


Stir and mix well.



Leave the mixture to cool down

for say, half an hour.


Step 3 : Mould and Freeze.


Half an hour later ...


Pour the mixture into

the moulds.


We should have enough

chocolate-mix to fill 2 bars.


In the freezer.



Check the chocolate

in 2 hour's time.



Or the next morning.



Tick tock, tick tock.


2 hours later.



Ahhh! 



One dark and one caramel.



The dark one probably got

all the brown sediments

that were left at the bottom

 of the cooker-pot.


Break them into squares

and keep them in ...


an air-tight container.


Twist the seasalt grinder

over the chocolates for

an enhanced look and taste.



Enjoy. 



One a day,

keeps the blues away.
