- Next, blend the cacao butter into flakes. Add remaining chocolate ingredients and stir in thermomix at 100 degrees for 3 minutes or until a chocolate consistency.
- Pour into a container and refrigerate until coconut is ready to go. Reheat the chocolate by putting back into the thermomix bowl and blending into small pieces. Then, melt at 100 degrees for 3 minutes on stirring setting.
