Raw Chocolate Recipe

Raw Chocolate Recipe for The Body Ecology Diet

Tara Carpenter, NC.

I love chocolate that is sugar-free, raw, and preferably in shape of piggies! All of which is hard to find at a cost I am willing to pay and so instead, I got in my kitchen to create a recipe with the benefits of raw cocoa without a sweetener that impacts our blood sugar; important for those healing a yeast, bacterial, or viral infection on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

To sweeten, I used stevia and BE Sweet because both are a natural sweetener that does not feed harmful yeast, bacteria, or viruses living in the body. Making this chocolate a perfect treat to enjoy occasionally. If you have diabetes or a blood sugar imbalance, then you can enjoy this recipe without the worry of influencing blood sugar or insulin release.

Tara’s Raw Chocolate Recipe 

Makes: 6-12 chocolates, depending on type of mold used.

Ingredients

6 Tbsp virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil and/or raw cocoa butter

4 Tbsp raw, organic cocoa powder

7-10 drops NuNatural vanilla stevia* or BE Sweet or 1-2 Tbsp BE Sweet granulated sweetner ground into fine powder using a coffee grinder 

1 Tsp almond or vanilla extract, glycerin-based

1 pinch sea salt (optional)

Method

  • Bring a pot of water to simmer. Place another pot or bowl inside the first one to create a double-boiler method to keep temperature below 115 degrees F and cocoa and coconut oil in a raw state.
  • Add coconut oil to the inside bowl and allow to melt.
  • Whisk in cacao powder and stir, stir, stir until lump free.
  • Whisk in sweetener, almond extract, and salt if using.
  • Pour into candy molds or tiny muffin tins – I use piggie mold 
  • Fridge, or freeze, until solid.
  • Store in freezer, so they don’t get soft or melt.

Tips & Tricks

  • Chocolate is an oil-based vegetable fat and why to never mix chocolate with water or will clump up in an unappetizing way.
  • Start with 7 drops of stevia, add more by the drop if want sweeter.
  • I blend raw cocoa butter with coconut oil; 3 tablespoons of each.
  • Go minty with 3 drops mint essential oil, add more stevia, and eliminate almond extract.
  • If tolerated, then add 2-4 Tbsp coconut milk for creamier chocolate.
  • Make chocolate bark! Spread melted mixture on parchment paper.
  • I like this mold and mini baking cups – kids love the fun patterns.
  • Add minced unsweetened dried cranberries or almonds.
  • A perfect treat for anyone on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D).
  • A fun stocking stuffer, I pop a couple in tiny cellophane bags and tie with colorful ribbon or package in little boxes for birthday gifts.

*Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar, so use less. Start with 7 drops and sweeten to taste. The more you add, the less bitter your chocolate will be.

Hi Tara. I’m sorry, there is no link for the recipe you are mentioning. Am I missing something?

I have not made white chocolate before, yet here is a recipe that I think is healthy/balanced enough to give a go! I would use lakanto or another version of sugar that has been ground up into a powder in a coffee grinder or blender….have fun 🙂
