Hi everyone, Hope you're all having a lovely summer now that the warmer weather is here at last! I love the warmer days and lighter evenings, it just makes me feel so much better being able to spend more time outside in my garden. I like to just potter about tending to the few herbs that I grow or sit in the sun relaxing with a fresh smoothie or juice that I've made. My raw chocolate workshops went really well and everyone enjoyed making and then tasting the chocolates (the best bit isn't it) so I thought I would share my raw chocolate recipe with you. If any of you would like me to do another workshop in the area you live then it would be great to hear from you and we can arrange another one. Raw chocolate truffles with orange Ingredients (makes 14 hearts) 1 cup (50g) of cacao powder
Melt the cacao butter in the oven with the door open at the temperature on the lowest setting. This avoids heating the butter and simply allows it to melt. Alternatively, you can put the cacao butter into a Pyrex bowl over a saucepan of warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until melted. Once, melted, mix in the cacao powder and then the agave syrup. Stir well. Add the orange zest and the vanilla essence whilst continually stirring. Pour the mixture into clean dry moulds that have been previously kept in the freezer for two hours beforehand. This helps the chocolate to solidify. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours. Taste and enjoy! Events If anyone has any local events they would like me to promote just send me the info and I will include it in my next newsletter.
