Ingredients:

  • 12 oz (340g) dark chocolate (60% cacao or higher), finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (5ml) coconut oil
  • 1 tsp (2g) edible gold luster dust
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) clear lemon extract

Instructions:

  1. Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in your glass bowl. Note: Chop it into even pieces so it melts uniformly
  2. Microwave on medium power for 30 seconds, then stir immediately.
  3. Repeat in 15 second intervals until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
  4. Stir in the 5ml of coconut oil until fully incorporated. Note: Don't over mix or you'll introduce air bubbles
  5. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate into the center and spread it until it is 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Tap the tray firmly on the counter to release trapped air bubbles.
  8. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm but still slightly tacky.
  9. Mix the gold luster dust with lemon extract to create a paste.
  10. Flick or brush the gold across the surface, then chill for 10 minutes more.
