Instructions

  • Fill the bottom pot of the double broiler or a small saucepan with water – make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the glass bowl when it’s placed on top of the saucepan. Place the top bowl on the double broiler or place the glass bowl on top of the saucepan and add the cacao butter to the bowl.
  • Heat the water over a low medium heat until the cacao butter has melted. The cacao butter shouldn’t get hotter than 115°F/46°C to ensure it remains raw and retains all its nutrients.
  • When the cacao butter has completely melted, remove from the heat and stir in the sieved carob powder until fully combined.
  • Using a teaspoon, pour the chocolate mixture into the Christmas chocolate moulds.
  • Place in the freezer for 20 minutes, or until set.
  • Remove the chocolates from the moulds and store them in a freezer safe airtight glass container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freezer for up to 3 months. If giving them as a gift, transfer them to a Christmas tin.
  • When you want to eat them, transfer them from the freezer to the fridge for 24 hours. Remove from the fridge and leave to cool to room temperature before enjoying.
