Batch #1 - White Chocolate
Base made from: cacao butter, coconut butter/oil, lucuma powder
Added various combinations of: ground freeze-dried fruit (durina and mangosteen were the only ones I had handy), hemp seeds, vanilla powder, purple corn extract
Lessons learned:
- Purple corn extract does not give a nice colour.
- Real powdwered vanilla is very much worth the price.
The results: Delicious, although melting very easily. Still as I have not yet found any decent (or even edible) raw white chocolate in stores, I'm very satisfied.
Thoughts for the future:
- Try different freeze dried fruit (must see where they can be obtained cheaply)
- Fine tune the amounts.
Batch # 2 - Milk Chocolate sans milk
Made from: cacao butter, coconut butter/oil, ground cacao nibs, lucuma powder, raw agave syrup
The result: A bit too sweet, but very nice. I think this one is a keeper.
Thoughts for the future:
- Fine tune the amounts as to create less sweet chocolate.
