Powdering Rapadura Methods Compared

Powdering Rapadura Methods Compared

By Wardeh on April 13, 2009

Since I had an issue with Rapadura not dissolving in my first attempt to make homemade chocolate chips, I took the advice of my friend Jami. She advised powdering the Rapadura (evaporated cane juice) in a countertop appliance. The Vita-Mix far and away produced the best powdered Rapadura.

Homemade Chocolate Chunks — Agave Sweetened and GF, DF

By Wardeh on January 25, 2008

Here are chocolate chunks that I made using agave as the sweetener. These are not overly sweet either, like the xylitol sweetened chocolate chunks. One could reduce the coconut oil and increase the agave to increase the overall sweetening.

1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil
2/3 cup raw agave syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond [...]

Homemade Chocolate Chunks — Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free

By Wardeh on January 19, 2008

We long ago gave up chocolate chips because of the dairy in them. Then we gave up the dairy-free chocolate chips because of the sugar in them. Until recently, we were buying and eating grain-sweetened chocolate chips. Then I realized that even those don’t work for us, because the grain sweetening comes from barley malt, [...]

Chocolate Syrup

By Wardeh on November 19, 2007

Last night we feasted on vanilla ice cream sundaes. This chocolate syrup is amazing, just incredible. Goopy, thick, drizzly, sweet, dark… It includes the healthiest forms of all ingredients, but still is an indulgence! Use it as a glaze, or make chocolate milk by mixing it with nut milk.

Chocolate Almond Joy Ice Cream

By Wardeh on July 26, 2007

The coconut milk makes for a creamy ice cream, which is hard to come by in non-dairy frozen desserts. It also adds a delicious coconut flavor. Other non-dairy milks can be substituted, but the ice cream will be less creamy, more icy, and harder when placed in the freezer.
