Ingredients
Chocolate
- 2 oz cocoa butter
- 1.5 oz cacao powder
- 2 oz IMO syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon stevia extract
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Filling
- 1 oz coconut butter
- ½ tablespoon butter (softened)
- ½ tablespoon powdered erythritol
- 2 teaspoon filling of choice (dry berries, whey, matcha powder, etc.)
Instructions
Chocolate
- Bring a little water to the boil in a saucepan and then reduce the heat so the water is only simmering. Suspend a small to medium size heat-resistant bowl over the water. Don't allow the bowl to touch the simmering water.
- Add the cocoa butter. It's best if you let it melt before you add in other ingredients. Mix, until all the ingredients are melted and well combined. Warning: Do not let any water come inside the bowl! Add as much stevia extract as you like, to taste. As for the salt, add it if you wish.
- Pour the chocolate into small silicone molds, filling them only halfway. This part can get a bit messy. At this point, you need to have half of the chocolate left. Keep the rest of the chocolate warm and runny. Put the half-filled silicone molds into the fridge for 30 minutes to set. In the meantime, prepare the filling and let it harden in the fridge as well.
Filling
- Put the coconut butter into a microwave-safe cup, and microwave on medium for a short while (one minute, depending on the microwave strength) for it to melt.
- Add in powdered erythritol and mix.
- Add in softened butter and mix.
- At this point, add in a teaspoon of any flavor, powder, or whey powder. For example, vanilla whey powder ...
- ... ground dehydrated blueberries ...
- ... matcha green tea powder ...
- ... or even truffle sauce.
- Mix the filling well and put it in the fridge for a few minutes. It has to harden so you can form small bites with your fingers.
Finishing the candy
- Take the half-filled silicone molds out of the fridge. Take small bites of the filling and put one on each chocolate candy.
- The rest of the chocolate should still be warm and runny at this point. If not, you can melt it again in a bowl, suspended over simmering water. Pour the rest of the chocolate into the silicone molds, so it fills up the molds and covers the fillings completely. What a mess but so much fun!
- Leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you try to take the candy out of the molds. When done, store the candy in a cool environment. I left mine in the fridge, and they remained good over days. Cover with some more coconut butter for a nicer look. Enjoy the bites to the fullest!
