As soon as you showed the cakes and told you made them without anything artificial, soy, refined sugar, dairy, I knew I was in for quality content. Thank you Olga, keep doing what you're doing.

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you 🙏💚

[@irynamcnaught3643]

I am so lucky to find your video, this is by far, the only video on the KZbin that explains tempering chocolate from scratch! Very simple and comprehensive explanation, thank you so much, Olga!

[@joyceshangkuan]

Thank you SO much for making this video! This has been THE MOST helpful (AND healthful 😜) explanation of how to make vegan chocolate with healthy sweetener! I was so lost, confused, and totally thought I couldn’t use maple syrup because someone else said it’d seize the chocolate. So glad I found you and your video!! 💖

[@kikishields3446]

Olga! This is amazing! I am so proud of you! I can’t wait to see more videos and learn from the best! :)

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you very very much Kiki :) Come to me to my first course for moms. Starts in the 1st of October, and I offer free enrolls because this is my first course ever. and because I'd need your feedback :))) www.myplantcake.com/course

[@carimasidi1]

LOVE IT!

[@morginejurdan575]

Thank you! Great Instructions! Clear and simple and a recipe of ingredients! that used to be on almost all videos like this and now most only give their website. Thank you for the Ingredients! I watched a session a while ago on America's Test Kitchen and found out a Serrated Knife cuts chocolate so much Easier than the normal knife you were using. I have used it ever since and was surprised how much easier it is, on those big chunks!! Have a Wonderful Year!! Thanks again! Morgine

[@andreamuresan9486]

Hello Olga. I made my vegan raw chocolate today, it came out amazing ! Thank you so much for your video. The truth is I bought the coca mass and the cocoa butter a while ago because I wanted to make real chocolate at home, but did not found any video about how to use them, so, your video came just on time !

[@Bliss-music]

Thank you so much! I tried it today following your instructions but with more cocao powder than your recipe (I like very dark chocolate) and it came out great :)

[@LarisaStabile-o1f]

Absolutely amazing chocolate! I did try today did taste just perfect!

[@deannajohnson3933]

[@Cornaceldenisamaria]

This looks amazing! Thanks for all the tips, I think they are vital in this type of chocolate. One question. I personally like more creamy chocolate and I was wondering if it’s possible to mix some homemade almond milk somewhere in the recipe. And if it is, how would the procedure go? Thank you so much!

[@ltorromcc]

[@jst-c1372]

Hello, this video was a huge help for me ! You list two different recipes. One with cacao powder and one with paste. I noticed you changed the order of ingredients around between the two. Is it indeed 175g of cocoa butter for the powder recipe?

[@saratakimrnkova2506]

Thank you very much for your videos

[@MyPlantCake]

My dear, I haven't found the BEST recipe for white chocolate bars. However, I teach how to make homemade white chocolate, raspberry, strawberry chocolate from scratch on this course: www.myplantcake.com/unicorn However, I use mentioned chocolate not as a solid bars but as a velour coating for cakes, like decorative elements (raspberry chocolate horn and white chocolate ears for Unicorn cake). So, as small elements, they taste good. But as a solid white chocolate bar, I will never offer it for sale :))) I hope you got my idea. And yes, I've never ate a good commercial vegan white chocolate without shite sugar yet. Everything is... not delicious. So, I understand your concern :)

[@labstractmusic295]

Great recipe, I have tried it a number of times now and it never fails to impress!! I have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind answering. Could coconut milk powder be added to give it a milk chocolate taste and colour? And if so would the ratio of ingredients and tempering time differ? Thank you again :)

[@YanLovez]

thank you so much :)

[@anastasiyasdiary]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe! How long is this chocolate good for until it expires? Where can I buy molds like yours? What brand do you use? Can you link yours in the description please?

[@katyah9566]

I love making this chocolate, thank you! Do you have a recipe for a raw vegan milk chocolate? Would be nice to try as well

[@SergeToll]

thanks

Amazing👍👍👍😍😍😍😍

Hi dear Olga and many many thanks for sharing all this precious information with us

[@rakhirana8739]

You are awesome. Pls share more chocolate video

[@vladacohen5875]

Hi Olga, thanks for the recipe. Can I use cacao nibs instead of a cacao paste? If yes, what will be the proportion?

[@katerinaikalina]

This is soo cool ! I will definitely try it out ! From where you you buy the cocoa mass and cocoa butter ?

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you)))) Please, see the links to three online stores in the description to this video (right away under the video, you may need to extend the description to see everything). Hope it will help :)

[@HanaFilmz]

Hi Ms Olga, I am an 11 year old who loves watching your video’s because it gives me healthy alternatives when I having cravings because I am gluten free and dairy free. Few days ago I tried your strawberry cheesecake and the chocolate it was sooo delicious thank you ❤️❤️

[@MyPlantCake]

Hi my dear, thank you very very much for your sweet comment! I am very happy to make you happy! Keep going with healthy cakes, I am so happy to know that I can encourage teens to make your own sweets! Thank you! It's the best gift for me for upcoming New Year holiday! Happy Hollidays!!!!

[@perlacontreras2480]

Wow you’re only 11 years and you are so well spoken and you can do pastry. Congratulations you’re going to be amazing in the future 💖

[@juliquezada1523]

Olga, beautiful demo!! Please tell me which brand infrared thermometer you use for this recipe. Thank You

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you so much, Juli! My thermometer is very old and I can't find the link to it. But I ordered this one for my sister and it works perfectly: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L5FTQMS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@tasst2674]

Best video on tempering chocolate I have ever watched. Thank you so much!!! How long do you recommend letting the chocolate sit before releasing? Also, after it sets, for storage must it be kept in the fridge or is it ok if you have a kitchen that is not hot? Have a great day!

[@MyPlantCake]

I leave chocolate for 1-2 hours in the fridge before releasing. If you tempered it correctly, it will not melt and you can leave it in room temp. But if you're not sure, keep in the freezer :)

[@tasst2674]

Thanks so much Olga! You’re the best. I will give it a try.

[@jillwilkinson422]

Hi Olga, love the video. If I may it with cacoa powder do I add that at stage to of tempering, also once the chocolate is made will it stay hard outside the fridge and how long will it stay fresh for, not that chocolate lasts more than a day around me before eating. Kind regards

[@martinamorana4288]

Hi Olga! How can we use this recipe to make white chocolate please? Thanks

[@mynameiswow]

I made this chocolate today and it looks beautiful and it's so yummy 😋 thank you for the recipe!

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you for your feedback! Did you use paste or powder? And I am very happy that you loved it :)))))

[@mynameiswow]

@@MyPlantCake I ordered paste but didn't receive it yet and I was so excited to try it so I used the powder. It was so yummy :))

[@VandaPlazonic]

Did you put 2 tsp of vanilla extract? I haven’t tried it cooled, but now I tried it while preparing and it wasn’t tasty, like there was some alcohol in it 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@crystalheart7937]

Bliss you for investing your time and effort into something so wonderful. These look absolutely perfect. 🌹

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you, Crystal ☺️❤️

[@kitkat1205]

Hi there! What is the best storing method and shelf life of this recipe. Thank you so much! So excited to try this !

[@MyPlantCake]

Same as for regular chocolate - dark place, 17-18C. with low humidity level. Shelf life depends on the storing conditions. Or simply store in the refrigerator up to 2-3 weeks (in the airtight container).

[@FataMorgana3000]

Thank you so much Olga! What do you think about xylitol or honey as sweetener?

[@neelu8]

Hi dear, Thank you for your wonderful healthy chocolate recipe, it's been more than a year I'm using this recipe to make healthy chocolate. Dear I have got some cacao nibs and can you please guide me if I can make chocolate using cacao nibs or how can I use them.

[@rupak.00]

❤❤❤very nice

[@Versatilish]

Loved the in-depth knowledge and tips that you shared. Would like to know, is Liquid Stevia a healthy alternative for sugar apart from the options that you have suggested. If yes, can you please guide on what amount has to be added in this recipe.

[@MyPlantCake]

Just add on your taste. Different brands have different sweeteners. So, add starting from 10-15 drops, stir, taste and add more if needed ❤️ I’m not a big fan of stevia. But if it’s a healthy reason (keto diet), it’s an option.

[@Versatilish]

@@MyPlantCake Ok, thankyou so much for your prompt response❤️

[@sandrachong2654]

Thanks. This is a clear instruction i have watched so far. love it!

[@MyPlantCake]

Thank you :)))

[@hananebelaoud7835]

Thank u so much for sharing the recipe.would it work with home made date syrup or honey ???

[@Bluecat2525]

Thank you for your video. You mentions not to get any water on anything. If I use "In the Raw Sugar Liquid," which has water as an ingredient, as my liquid sweeter would that be acceptable?

[@aleksandramarszalkowska1745]

I’n so happy I found your video. Can you advise how much liquid stevia I should use? Thank you so much

[@MyPlantCake]

Hi dear Aleksandra, I honestly do not work with liquid stevia. It can be really very different in taste (it can be an extract when you need to add a few drops only, or it can be something like Lacanto Monk Fruit maple syrup when you can substitute it with 1 to 1 proportion to classic maple syrup). If you have an extract, add it according to your taste. Just temper the chocolate and add drops to the chocolate. Mix it, try, and feel if you want to add more.

Wow. Thank you so much. Truly understand tempering now to a greater extent. God's blessings in Jesus name.

[@nosinfoodie9766]

Olga, thank you for the recipe! My room is very hot and I cant get my chocolate down to 29C (no less 34..). I put my bowl with chocolate into fridge then for few sec got the temp up to 31C. The result was delicious but melt in hands chocolate... What could I do with the temp getting down? Thank you! I used simple termom and cacao powder.

[@rajkundnani4414]

You are Brilliant. Is it possible to show us how to make vegan white chocolate bar.

[@ashwinihn793]

Dear Olga, I have prepared this twice and it is just wow. Can you please teach us how to make it little sweet coz my child feels it little bitter.

[@doramaries369]

Try using carob powder as it`s sweeter than cacao powder. I did it with 50g carob powder and it`s so delicious and sweeter ( as I like sweet as well :d )

[@sjholdings2827]

Hie ,as soon as you reach the desired temperature (third temperature finding )you shift it to the mould immediately right ?also if we have to add something like caramel in between the chocolate then how do we add it ?

[@MyPlantCake]

Yes, you can pour chocolate in the molds immediately.

[@iyoutome]

Thank you so much for your passionate time sister. Very well explained. 1 Quick question, we have the same brand of Vanilla Extract "Simply Organic" but it has the following ingredients... Organic Glycerin, Organic Vanilla Bean Extractives in Water.... I'm assuming this is no good because of the water?... Looking forward to try my first homemade Vegan Chocolate. Much gratitude. Peace, love and cheers!

[@MyPlantCake]

That's okay with vanilla extract. We put just 1-2 grams. And it's already not clean water, it's an emulsion, so we can work with in in this recipe. And thank you for your support and such warm words :)))

[@iyoutome]

@@MyPlantCake Awesome... Thanks sister!
