Ingredients

You Will Need

  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup coconut oil

Optional Sweetener

If you prefer sweeter chocolate, you can add a small amount of:

  • Maple syrup
  • Honey
  • Powdered sugar
  • Your preferred sweetener

Keep in mind that adding sweetener changes the recipe from the strict 2-ingredient version.

How to Make Homemade Chocolate

Step 1: Melt the Coconut Oil

Place the coconut oil in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.

Warm it gently until completely melted.

Do not overheat it.

The oil only needs to become liquid.

Step 2: Add the Cocoa Powder

Gradually add the cocoa powder to the melted coconut oil.

Whisk continuously.

This helps prevent lumps and creates a smoother chocolate mixture.

Step 3: Mix Until Smooth

Continue whisking until the cocoa powder is completely incorporated.

The mixture should look:

  • Smooth
  • Glossy
  • Dark
  • Pourable

If you see dry cocoa pockets, keep whisking.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

If you enjoy very dark chocolate, you can leave it unsweetened.

For a sweeter result, add a small amount of your preferred sweetener.

Start with a little and adjust gradually.

Step 5: Pour Into a Mold

Pour the chocolate mixture into:

  • Silicone chocolate molds
  • Mini muffin cups
  • Ice cube trays
  • A parchment-lined container

Silicone molds are especially convenient because the chocolate releases easily once firm.

Step 6: Add Optional Toppings

Before the chocolate sets, you can add:

  • Chopped almonds
  • Peanuts
  • Pistachios
  • Shredded coconut
  • Dried cranberries
  • Raisins
  • Sea salt

Keep the toppings light so they do not overpower the chocolate.

Step 7: Chill

Place the molds in the refrigerator.

Chill for approximately 30 to 60 minutes, or until completely firm.

For faster results, place them in the freezer for a shorter period.

Step 8: Remove and Serve

Once firm, remove the chocolates from the molds.

Serve chilled or let them sit for a few minutes at room temperature before eating.

Because coconut oil softens when warm, this homemade chocolate is best kept cool.
