Easy Raw Chocolate Chips

Here is my recipe for chocolate sauce.  It is the same recipe as the one used in the Pineapple Coconut Delight recipe.  I’m posting it a second time because I wanted to show you how it can be used to make chocolate chips.  This week I came up with several raw dessert recipes that all use chocolate chips.  In a pinch, cacao nibs are a quick and easy substitute, but I prefer something a little more authentic.

Raw Chocolate Sauce

½ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup cacao powder
¼ cup agave nectar or sweetener of your choice

1.      Combine all ingredients together in a bowl.  Whisk until smooth and combined.

Raw Chocolate Chips

1.      Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 
2.      Pour 1 recipe of raw chocolate sauce onto parchment covered cookie sheet.  Spread evenly with a spatula.
3.      Place in the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until hardened all the way through.
4.      With a pizza cutter, cut into strips vertically and horizontally to desired size.  I keep them moderately sized because they break apart as you fold them into batters and ice creams.  Also, they may crack a little as you are cutting.  This is okay.
5.      Keep refrigerated or frozen until ready to use.
