anyone no how to make vegan chocolate?

Answer 1

Be careful with dark chocolate in the stores - a lot of it DOES have milk fat in it, particularly the big brands.

I love Green and Black's Maya Gold bar - it's chocolate with orange and spice and it's got organic raw sugar instead of the usual white sugar.
Check out this store for sooo many vegan chocolates:

But, on to your question:
I make raw vegan chocolate all the time. Would you believe that chocolate is GOOD for you if you do it right?
Here's how I do it...
I mix together (either in a high powered blender if you've got it or a food processor, which will make it a little chunkier but it's still great) coconut oil, raw cocoa nibs (if you don't have them you can skip them, but they make the treat more healthy), raw cashews, raw carob powder or raw cocoa powder, agave nectar, and whatever else you want. Sometimes i add dates to make it extra sweet, sometimes I use pecans instead of cashews, you really can't mess up. Mess with the quantities of each ingredient to get a good batch. I don't measure, I just dump some in until I get a good consistency.
Here's a few basic recipes to give you an idea:

Answer 2

You'll find a million recipes online. I don't know what kind you want to make. Fudge, chocolate bars, brownies, etc.

I don't ever make regular vegan (cooked) chocolate. I buy Sunspire dark chocolate covered almonds or Tropical Source mint crunch bars at the health food store.

When I'm raw, I mix coconut oil, raw agave nectar, and raw cocoa powder together. Then I usually mix in macadamias or walnuts.

Answer 3

One thing Dart doesn't know is many conventional brands of dark chocolate use milk ingredients for some reason--something I kvetched about in a question last week.

Do you want chocolate candy? There are places you can buy vegan chocolates. Do you want vegan hot chocolate? Do you want vegan fudge?

Answer 4

If it is products made from the cocoa bean that you want to avoid there is a vegan product that tastes like chocolate it is carob, It can be substituted for chocolate in your favorite recipes. To learn more, use a search engine, type in carob and you will find everything about this product including recipes using carob.

Answer 5

Try any of the dark chocolate varieties at the store, as they will not have milk or milk solids in it.

There is also hot chocolate mixes that are dairy-free in the grocery stores also.

You can also make your own chocolate by just using baking chocolate, vegan sugar, and cocoa butter (which is not dairy!).

Answer 6

try this

INGREDIENTS
3 cups white sugar
1 cup soy milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

DIRECTIONS
In a 3 quart saucepan, combine white sugar, evaporated milk, and cocoa. Bring to a hard boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until it reaches the soft ball stage, 234 degrees F (112 degrees C).
Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Pour mixture into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish. Cool, and cut into pieces.

looks very vegan to me
