White chocolate doesn’t get the attention white chocolate does, right?

One reason, the traditional version is not healthy like dark chocolate. Let’s change that, shall we?

How about we make it out of two healthy ingredients?

One, white cacao butter, unprocessed and full of antioxidants and nutrients that boost brain powder and your heart.

What is Cacao Butter?

Raw cacao butter – not cocoa butter. Both come from the oil from a cocoa bean, but the raw cacao hasn’t been processed with nutrient-killing high heat.

So cacao butter retains its antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which boost immunity and have anti-inflammatory effects.

How Healthy is Coconut Butter?

The other ingredient, delicious creamy coconut butter, is sometimes called the peanut butter of the tropics. It’s basically pureed coconut meat and is full of fiber (coconut oil is not), as well as protein, potassium, magnesium and iron.

And pink! Pink power! I give you 3 possible awesome options to turn this treat PINK.

There are other vegan recipes out there that involve white sugar but I wanted to avoid that so I used a tiny bit of maple syrup. You can taste-test and add more if you’d like.

I filled an 8×4-inch loaf pan with my mixture, but if you have silicon molds, go for it!

This version is perfect for molding, so with Valentine’s Day coming up, I am thinking pink heart white vegan heart chocolates! But I digress, as of this writing, I have only made it in melt-in-your-mouth chunks.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cacao butter
• 1 cup coconut butter
• 3 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)

for pink color

• 2 tbsp goji berry powder
• OR
• 1 tsp beetroot powder
• OR
• 1 tsp pitaya (frozen version, thawed)

Optional for more Flavor

• 1 tsp vanilla powder
• pinch himalayan salt

Useful Equipment

• 1 2-cup pyrex measuring cup
• heart molds

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

1. Add cacao butter and coconut butter to a pyrex cup sitting in a sauce pan of boiling water. (I used a pyrex measuring cup in the water bath, because it is so easy to pour)

   NOTE: If your coconut butter is hard as a rock in the jar, you should first stand it in the hot water so it becomes liquid and then you can measure. The cacao butter I use comes in small chunks so if you use a 1-cup measuring cup, you might want to slightly overfill to get to 1 cup. You want there to be a basic 1-1 ratio between the two.
   

2. Stir the two ingredients until all is melted but do not allow water to splash into cup.

3. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, taste-test for sweetness, and pour mixture into molds or, as I did, into a parchment-lined loaf (8x4-inches) pan.

4. Freeze for 1 hour or more until solid. Cut into chunks with a hot knife. Store in refrigerator or freezer.
