Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons raw cacao butter, 84 grams
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 14 grams
- ¼ cup raw honey, 84 grams (buy locally)
- ¾ cup raw cacao powder, 60 grams
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Weigh or measure the cacao butter. It is more accurate if you weigh it. If you measure it, chop it into fine pieces first.
- Melt cocoa butter over medium heat, in a double boiler or bowl on top of a small pan with an inch of water (make sure water isn’t touching bowl).
- When cacao butter is melted, whisk in the coconut oil and honey until melted.
- Remove from the heat. Add cacao powder and vanilla. Mix until well incorporated and smooth. Make sure that no water gets in to the chocolate as it can cause the texture to get mealy!
- Set 20 mini paper baking cups on a plate or tray.
- Fill the mini baking cups with pomegranate seeds about 1/3-1/2 full.
- Pour the chocolate liquid over the pomegranate seeds.
- Put in refrigerator for 1 hour or until chocolate becomes solid.
- Peel off the paper cups and enjoy.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
