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.

How lucky are you Miss Giggles!!! Sounds like fun!

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!!!

Gosh, you only have to drop your kit around here to cause a commotion! I've been this way for months!
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.
