Suikervrije chocolade bonbons

When you try to cut as many (refined) sugars out of your diet as possible, there are quite a few things that fall away at first glance. One important one for many is chocolate. It generally contains a lot of white or granulated sugar, which isn't good for you. We searched for chocolate with the least processed sugars and ended up with chocolate sweetened with coconut blossom sugar.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Double boiler pan
  • Small saucepan
  • Bonbon molds
  • Mortar and pestle
  • Refrigerator
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 100 g dark chocolate: I use Vivani 92% cacao
  • 5 dried figs, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 40 ml coconut milk
  • 20 g shredded coconut
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 20 g hazelnuts, chopped

Sugar-free, homemade Chocolate bonbons

    1. First melt the chocolate au bain-marie. When it's melted, put a layer of chocolate into the molds; this will be the bottom of the bonbon. Put this in the refrigerator until it has hardened.
    2. Then make all three fillings. Finely chop the figs, add the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Press down with a spoon until it becomes a little mixture.
    3. Put the coconut milk and shredded coconut in a small saucepan and bring briefly to the boil. Then add the vanilla extract and remove from the heat.
    4. Crush the hazelnuts finely with a mortar and pestle.
    5. Take the molds out of the refrigerator and put a little filling into each of the chocolate bases. Try to place it as much as possible in the center and keep the edges free, otherwise the bonbon won't become one whole (see our bonbons ;))
    6. Return to the refrigerator and let harden.
    7. Serve on pretty presentation dishes or tiered stand during your high tea. Enjoy your sugar-free, homemade bonbons! Also nice to give as a treat.

Let's come back briefly to coconut blossom sugar. This sugar is derived from the nectar of coconut flowers and is virtually unprocessed. It is dark brown in color and has a light caramel flavor, which is very nice. Coconut blossom sugar will never make things as sweet as granulated sugar, but it doesn't need to.

Our favorite is the bonbon with fig filling, mainly because the sweetness of the fig and the freshness of the lemon combine nicely with the dark chocolate. The bonbon with coconut filling is very reminiscent of a very plain Bounty! Very tasty. The bonbon with hazelnuts is actually the simplest of the three, but no less delicious. Enjoy your chocolate bonbons!
