Heatproof bowl
Pot for simmering water
Chopping knife
Baking tray or chocolate molds
Parchment paper
Sifter
Whisk
Spatula

Ingredients

1 cup cocoa butter (approx. 8 oz / 227 g)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (approx. 1.6 oz / 45 g)
⅓ cup powdered erythritol (approx. 2.4 oz / 68 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract (approx. 5 ml)
½ tsp Pink Himalayan salt plus extra for topping (approx. 2.5 g)

Instructions

Begin by finely chopping the cocoa butter and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Create a double boiler by setting the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Stir the cocoa butter occasionally until it is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and sift in the cocoa powder to avoid lumps, stirring until well incorporated.
Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, whisking until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of Pink Himalayan salt until evenly distributed.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a lined baking tray or chocolate molds, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Lightly sprinkle the top of the chocolate with additional Pink Himalayan salt to taste.
Allow the chocolate to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Once set, break or cut the chocolate into 12 even pieces.

Notes

Ensure all equipment is completely dry before use to prevent seizing of the chocolate.

Store chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of erythritol to your preference.
