Ghee Chocolate Recipe - Blissfull Eating (2024)

Why Use Ghee in Chocolate?

Your brain and mouth shall be so in harmony with chocolate that you’ll be licking through the cocoa’s melted bliss for hours. Then you’ll realize you never want to escape, and sink in, and be ours forever.

Chocolate drives me insane.

Okay, so ghee chocolate. I was going to make a too easy coconut oil chocolate recipe. I just mix a 1:1 ratio of coconut oil and cocoa powder together and it is all my body wants for hours. I feel so synchronized with it. My body understands chocolate. It has even mapped it in my brain with a permanent spot. Oh yes. Your body maps the nutrients you give it like connections to life. It’s like when you search for someone in a room and find them. Your brain just has these maps of resources. Where’s Waldo but for food.

My most potent brain map connections are to meat, oils, fats, and cocoa powder. To combine oil, or any fat, with cocoa, is just a mind symphony reaching through my brain. It connects. My taste explodes with the flavor it knows, and I’m in bliss.

Ghee chocolate was a spontaneous desire and it was so delicious and looked so beautiful I just had to share it with you. It has a more buttery taste than the coconut oil, but I really enjoy it. The taste is a bit more like browned crispy butter fondling chocolate. I love it. In fact, I’m about to go make some more. I might not even chill it.

Update:

I didn’t. It’s incredible both ways. Try it both soft and hard. This easy chocolate recipe can be made every day…or every hour.

What is Ghee?

Ghee is very similar to brown butter so if you’ve had brown butter you already know the flavor well. Brown butter is cooked a little longer and sometimes the whey is mixed into it/the leftover milk particles. Ghee is very ancient in terms of its creation point, far later than any American dish. Eating ghee is like eating history. In Hinduism cows are sacred and as a way to honor the gods Ghee would be presented to them as a sacred gift of sacred cows. There is even a hymn for ghee.

Ghee is now used in a new yet old yet possibly not the true old diet, paleo. Because the milk solids are separated ghee is lactose-free and way easier to digest than dairy. You can use it in your baked goods and even in your morning coffee for a caramelized butter flavor.

Ghee Chocolate Recipe Ingredients:

1:1 Ratio of Ghee andCocoa

Turn life to epic mode and make ghee yourself if you have some extra time.

I use this cocoa. To make your own go-to the cherry forest.

A pure chocolate recipe will taste bitter at first if you have never tried sugar-free chocolate. No worries, your mouth and taste buds will adjust through time. Have a bit of the 100% chocolate with no added sweetener and let it be bitter. Then, add in a bit of sweetener and decrease each day so you can get closer and closer to cocoa.

Directions for Making Ghee Chocolate:

Mix together the ghee and cocoa powder and refrigerate to desired consistency. If you leave the chocolate in for about thirty minutes it will have a delicious texture between soft and hard.

Ghee chocolate can also be used as a glaze on a cake, cupcakes or even paired with ice cream. I love it straight from the bowl and this is my midnight snack. Actually, I go to sleep at 11 so more like 10 o’clock snack. This chocolate recipe is as good as a shot of Lagavulin, and I don’t type that lightly.

Optional Add-Ins for Ghee Chocolate:

Lime Zest

Fleur De Sel

Sea Salt

Cinnamon

Berries

Tiny Swirl of Honey
