Homemade Chocolate Recipe
Perfect as an after dinner treat, these quick & easy homemade chocolates are simply the best! Honestly, they won't take nearly as long as your guests will imagine.
Ingredients
- ½ pound cooking chocolate (approx 250g) (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
- 1 small jar chocolate hazelnut spread (eg, Nutella)
- 7 ounces nuts (approx 200g) (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon copha or coconut oil
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe container, melt the chocolate pieces with the copha. (I find that it takes approximately 1 minute on 'high', but that would depend on your microwave. Whatever you do, please don't let the chocolate burn - there's no coming back from that. Once chocolate has burnt, you'd need to start again because you can't get rid of the burnt taste, unfortunately.)
- Stir melted chocolate and copha or coconut oil.
- Add a teaspoonful of chocolate to the bottom of each little compartment of an ice-cube tray.
- Add half a teaspoonful of Nutella on top of the chocolate to make a second layer.
- Spoon over another teaspoonful of chocolate on top of the Nutella to make the third layer.
- Add a light sprinkle of chopped nuts.
- Chill in the freezer for 10 - 15 minutes to set.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
