2 Ingredient chocolate - 70% cocoa

It reminds me of any number of Varietal "Dark Chocolates" out there. This formulation makes 1 kilogram (about 2 pounds) of Chocolate.

Ingredients

• 700 g / 1.5 lb / 70% Roasted cocoa nibs

• 300 g / 10.5 oz / 30% granulated sugar

• That's it - Simplicity itself

Procedure:

• I find it helpful to pre-heat both the drum to about 150 F along with nibs and sugar. It really helps get everything in there in a timely manner.

• Add the warmed cocoa nibs bit by bit.

• Once that is all running smoothly, 15-30 minutes, slowly add the sugar.

• Run the Melanger until the chocolate is of the smoothness you desire. I find 36-48 hours is about right. Your tastes may vary.

• Temper as you see fit and enjoy. Although this is listed at a 2 ingredient chocolate, I do not find it cheating at all to temper with 0.5% Cocoa butter silk. I dare you to taste a difference.

Enjoy!
