Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent clumping and achieve a smooth, silky texture.
- Microwave Mastery: When melting coconut oil, use short 15-second intervals and stir between each to prevent overheating or burning.
- Whisking Technique: Whisk the cocoa powder thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and create a uniform chocolate base.
- Sweetener Secrets: Powdered erythritol dissolves more easily than granulated, giving a smoother final product.
- Silicone is Your Friend: Use silicone muffin liners for easy removal and minimal mess.
- Chill Out: Be patient during the setting process - a full 30 minutes in the refrigerator ensures perfect texture.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a week for optimal taste and quality.Pro Tip: For added variety, try sprinkling some crushed nuts or a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling for extra flavor and crunch!
