Easy Homemade Carob "chocolate" (Sugar/Dairy-Free)

1. 1

   Sift carob powder into a medium bowl.

2. 2

   (To 'melt' coconut oil, place sealed jar in a metal/glass bowl partially filled with boiling water for 10-15 minutes).

3. 3

   Slowly stir in melted coconut oil, taking care to break up any lumps as you mix ingredients together.

4. 4

   Spread mixture thinly on a flat surface lined with foil or parchment (I used foil) and allow to cool in fridge.

5. 5

   Alternatively, you can drizzle into shapes or set the mixture in chocolate moulds.

6. 6

   (For a faster result, put in freezer for 15 minutes).

7. 7

   Once set, chop or break carob block into smaller pieces.

8. 8

   Store in a fridge or a cool place until ready to use.

9. 9

   Note: Cooking time is time allowed for mixture to set in fridge.

10. 10

    I read one suggestion that these could be used as chips in baked goods (e.g.

11. 11

    cookies) but I'm a little sceptical and think this might require some experimentation.

12. 12

    Try waiting until baked goods have cooled so that the chips harden up again?
