"Chocolate Butter"

CCV’s Chocolate Butter

(Only three ingredients :))

  • 60 g (4T) coconut oil
  • 52g (1/2 cup plus 1T) cocoa powder (plain Hershey’s works well) Use less if you aren’t a fan of extra-dark chocolate (I like 88% or higher, so I use the full amount listed)
  • scant 1/4 cup agave (or more) OR vanilla drops plus 46 grams water (3T) (I use 10 vanilla drops, but if you don’t like super-bitter chocolate, double or triple that amount)

.

Step #1: Melt your coconut oil (unless it’s Texas-summer hot; then there’s no need!).

You can either use the microwave (about 10 seconds) or the Melt-without-a-Microwave Trick

Step #2: Add the vanilla drops (or agave) and stir

Try not to eat the whole bowl at once. Oh heck, eat as much as you want!

We’ll revisit this recipe in another form later this month.

What form, exactly?  Here’s a hint 😉
