Play With Your Food: ‘Like Magic’ Chocolate

Dairy free, gluten free, sugar free, and 100 percent fun—especially when you use adorable chocolate molds.

This recipe is part of a Wanderlust TV series, Play With Your Food.


Makes about 1 cup

½ cup coconut oil, warmed to room temperature liquid
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup agave or honey or maple syrup
Toppings: cacao nibs, chopped almonds, flaky salt, etc.

In a bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and agave until completely smooth. Pour into chocolate molds. Sprinkle on any toppings you desire. Freeze until solid, about 1 hour. (Alternatively, drizzle the room temperature mixture over ice cream—in less than a minute, it will freeze and form a magic shell.)
