Thank you for sharing! This looks very easy but I used vitamix grinder to grind the nips but it doesn’t become powder, it’s like fine sand. How long do you grind it or what’s the total time to grind? Thank you!

[@VividSojourns]

You’re welcome ☺️! If you are using a powerful food processor or blender , it should take 10-15 mins and would still have a slightly grainy texture( it still tastes great 😊 ). Make sure your blender is not overheating..turn it off for a few mins and then continue..

[@stevecakouros1482]

Mine was a disaster. I tried using the High Powered Ninja Blender which made the Nibs gummy and unable to continue blending. Next, I transferred the gummy Nib Paste into a Cuisinart Food Processor with an S Blade, but the Nib paste formed into a huge ball of hard Cacao Dough and I was unable to process it any further -even after breaking up the huge ball of dough and blending further. The Hugh Ball of Cacao Dough reformed after 20 seconds and gave me nightmares while I slept. So, I think I will give up now and order Cacao Butter, melt, then add cacao Powder and sweetner, mix and form into a mold. Thanks for the Video. It looks great.

[@VividSojourns]

Oh, I’m sorry it didn’t turn out well. Over grinding can lead to a gummy paste that can’t be molded.

Can we use ghee instead of. Coconut oil?

[@VividSojourns]

Yes, you can.Pls do let me know how it turned out !

[@harshshah800]

@@VividSojourns yes sure

[@harshshah800]

@@VividSojourns hey if its liquid enough can we avoid coconut oil or ghee?

[@VividSojourns]

I used coconut oil to make the blending process easier. If you have got the required consistency, you can skip oil...

[@harshshah800]

Hey i tried using ghee, but i think it needs to be churned for few more minutes

[@Shan4Canada007]

Excellent. I would like to ask you one question on this, you took 450gm of Cacao nibs and if you don't add sugar or oil into the nibs and if you grind it into stone melanger or your own small grinder, how much Cacao mass you can make out of this 450gm of nibs? Any idea or assumption?

[@VividSojourns]

Thank you for watching! I get around 650-670 gm of chocolate from this recipe. Since you will be using only the nibs(450 gm), you will probably end up with 450 gm of cacao mass?🤔. Let me know🙂

Can I add Coca-Coacoa butter for dark chocolate recipe

[@VividSojourns]

I do not use cocoa butter for this recipe

[@athmant7977]

@@VividSojourns can I add coacoa butter instead of coconut oil. And also can I add honey or maple syrup. If so what will be the shelf life.

[@VividSojourns]

You can add cocoa butter. I haven’t used maple syrup but I guess you can . The only thing is adding maple syrup or honey may affect how well the chocolate sets.Regarding shelf life, using honey or maple syrup may reduce the shelf life due to higher moisture content.Pls let me know how it turns out !

[@thewestindianboy]

Making from Nibs what about tempering. Do we need it?

[@VividSojourns]

I didn’t temper

[@vyshnavichigullapalli5409]

It is smelling differently ,is there any thing to be added to avoid smell?

[@VividSojourns]

Hope the cacao nibs that you used were stored properly

[@Nursepenny404]

Does heating the nibs change the nutritional content?

[@VividSojourns]

not really since we are only gently roasting them over low heat

[@rlopofficial4301]

Was it tempered?

[@VividSojourns]

No

[@atharva47k15]

How Can i Get That Coconut Oil For Cooking ?

[@VividSojourns]

Hi, you can use any Wood Pressed Coconut Oil .It is easily available in grocery stores.

[@madnessaurus]

I wish I watched your video! I watched a vid where they don't mention you need to grind the nibs and thought why aren't they melting 😅 and it also didn't mention to mix it for 10 minutes, i will try your recipe next 🙌🏼

[@VividSojourns]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad you liked the recipe. Hope you enjoy 😊 🍫

[@pulkitshah6449]

Why add coconut oil? Wouldn't the cocoa butter already be part of the nibs?

[@VividSojourns]

It is to make the blending process easier. If you are able to blend it without the oil, you can skip it.

[@factory_of_randomdomness]

Can you use olive oil? I found out you can Just don't add milk

[@VividSojourns]

I haven’t tried..but I think it should be okay

[@TheeJoieDeVivreGarden]

Thank you 😊 😍

It was healthy until sugar was added; it would be healthy if it was sweetened with stevia or any other natural sugar free sweetener, thanks for the recipe

[@VividSojourns]

Thanks. Sure! you can use any sweetener that you prefer

[@kayaking1000]

How about no sweeteners!

[@1wholistens]

It is healthy. Do you know how many chemicals and other trash is found in candy these days ??? This is much healthier.

[@uncletacosupreme7023]

Stevia and other fake sweeteners are nasty. Here is a good thought, if you shouldnt be eating sweets then dont. If you consume anything in moderation instead of acting like a pig, its ok to eat. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@angelessantamariablanco]

Stevia it isn’t healthy. Much less the processed one. Don’t be fooled.
