Homemade Chocolate Chip Recipe
- 2/3 cup butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup sugar (or sucranet)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- Put all ingredients in a glass double boiler, or make your own doubler boiler out of a glass jar and a sauce pan filled halfway with water.
- Heat slowly over simmering water until butter melts and sugar and cocoa powder dissolve. I couldn't get quite all of my chunky sugar to dissolve, but this didn't change the taste at all.
- Pour into a silicone or parchment lined pan and cool in the refrigerator.
- Once hardened, score with a knife or pizza cutter, break into chunks, and enjoy.
- Or store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
These chocolate chips taste amazing. I have to stop myself from eating the whole pan. Seriously, this is like very high quality dark chocolate that you would normally have to pay much more for, even in the States. They are really good in ice cream and frozen desserts because they are softer than regular chocolate chips. However, as Laura notes, and was my experience as well, they tend to melt into baked goods because they are so pure. I have also just poured the melted chocolate mixture over desserts, like this cheesecake, after it was cooled, instead of putting the chocolate chips inside like usual. This was just like pouring any other melted chocolate and was great.
