Servings 15
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz (100 g) cacao butter (food-grade)
- 1/4 cup (60 g) cashew butter or coconut butter
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar or powdered Erythritol
- 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the cacao butter in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally. I simply added the cacao butter to a ceramic bowl and put the bowl into a pan filled with a little hot water. It's important that you turn off the heat once the water in the pan starts simmering, to avoid drops of water getting into the bowl.
- Keep stirring until it's completely melted, then add the cashew butter (or coconut butter) and stir to combine.
- Finally, sift in the powdered sugar, and also add the vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Prepare two silicone molds and use a spoon to fill the white chocolate mixture into the molds.
- Transfer the silicone molds into your fridge for about 1-2 hours (or into your freezer for about 20-30 minutes) until the chocolate firms up.
- Remove from the mold and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Cacao butter: I used small chunks of cacao butter. If you have larger chunks, simply use a knife to chop them into smaller pieces to melt the cacao butter faster.
- Sugar: For sugar-free white chocolate use powdered Erythritol. It's important that the sugar is very powdery. If it's not, grind it in a blender or electric spice/coffee grinder and use a sieve to avoid any lumps in the chocolate.
- Vanilla: I used clear vanilla extract, but you can also use dark vanilla. It will slightly discolor the white chocolate though.
- Optional Add-Ins: Feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered coconut milk, soy milk, or rice milk to your mixture for a white "milk" chocolate.
- The recipe makes about 225 grams (or 2 bars of chocolate/ 30 chocolate hearts). One serving is 15 grams (2 chocolate hearts).
- The total time doesn't include chill time.
