Oil Infused Recipe : Chocolate Coconut Pots
When I first saw this recipe, it sounded delicious but it sounded like something I might not know how to make. But don’t let this recipe intimidate you, it only takes 20 minutes to prep them and could be the perfect Galentines or Valentines treat! There are options listed to make it vegan as well, something for everyone!
CHOCOLATE COCONUT POT INGREDIENTS
• 3 dark (70%) chocolate bars
• 1 cup coconut milk
• ¾ cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A tiny pinch of sea salt (to taste)
• 2-3 drops Orange Vitality
COCONUT CARAMEL ORANGE SAUCE INGREDIENTS
• ½ cup butter or coconut oil
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• ¼ cup cream or coconut cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of salt (add more for a salted caramel flavor, but not too much)
• 2-3 drops Orange Vitality
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. When melted, completely remove from heat, but leave the pan with the melted chocolate in the warm water.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine. Check to see if it is sweet enough and add more sweetener if desired and stir well. The mixture should be like very thick hot chocolate. You may need to add just a little more coconut milk to get it to this consistency.
Spoon or pour the mixture into little ramekins, small bowls, or heat-proof shot glasses
Place the Chocolate Pots on a tray and chill in the fridge for approx. 25 minutes (or the freezer for 15) to set them a little before adding the Caramel Sauce.
To make the sauce, place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat and start to melt it. Then whisk in the coconut sugar.
Continue whisking until the coconut sugar has melted and starts to bubble. Be careful not to burn. Add the cream or coconut cream, vanilla, and salt and continue whisking until combined and the sauce thickens a little.
Remove from heat and add the Orange Vitality and stir to blend.
Remove the Chocolate Pots from the fridge and spoon a little of the Caramel Sauce over the top of the Chocolate Pots and place them back on the tray and loosely cover them with baking paper and continue chilling until set for about 3 hours or overnight. You can also put them straight into the freezer for approx. 25 – 35 minutes to chill and set quicker.
These sound divine and you could even serve them with some coconut whipped cream, berries, or orange slices! Bonus, if you want a different flavor you can use Cinnamon Bark Vitality or Lemon Vitality in place of orange.
