Title: Separating the choc from the choc Post by: JLK on Thursday 29 March, 2007 I couldn't find the thread/s on choc so started another.
Because whenever I use Piers recipe for fav choc - my cacao butter seperates - from the coconut - so I get a layer of unsweetened cacao butter on top - then a very sweet and syruppy underneath. Is there something you can do to blend the cacao so that it doesn't seperate? You know, only perfection will do... Many thanks, JLK.

JLK I don't tend to use coconut oil... I do 50/50 cacao butter with cacao powder, then use a little agave to sweeten. The butter I melt in the dehydrator, or in a bowl inside a bowl of hot water. The agave can separate out just a little... and the bottom is often sweeter, but not to the extent that you are mentioning. I think it's the coconut oil that's causing the issue. Try going without it and see what happens. Good luck Chocolate King!!!

Sheryl, I was following Piers - Fav Choc Recipe in the new Recipe section - he says he uses equal amounts of cacao and coconut oil... it still tastes good mind - but I want it to all smooch together - the unsweetened cacoa butter on the top is a flaw in my plan for perfect raw choc. How else can I rule the world? I might try blending it... I figure it's because the cacao and coconut oil have different melting temps - so one sets before the other and floats to the surface... also - have been dropping in a half teaspoon of Freenut butter - made from sunflower seeds to produce a sort of raw Peanut Butter Cup. You gotta love that! Thanks for helping sort out this choc imperative. JLK. |
