Homemade Chocolate

I'm tired of trying to search out gluten and dairy free pareve chocolate all the time. As I was wondering the kitchen aimlessly, I threw some unsweetened cocoa powder together with a little bit of water and voila: Instant chocolate! Immediately a gazillion recipes came to mind: chocolate paste, chocolate fondue, chocolate frosting, chocolate broccoli ... just kidding :) This is good on its own and will serve as a great base for future desserts, but I decided to add some agave nectar for a little extra punch. Try it out, I'm sure you'll like it!

Homemade Chocolate with Agave Nectar

3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder (not processed with alkali)
1 T. water
drizzle agave nectar (optional)

Mix cocoa powder and water and stir into paste; add water to adjust consistency to your liking.

Drizzle with agave nectar and hide in a dark closet and eat greedily where no one else will find you - especially those jealous people who are eyeing your dairy free, gluten free chocolate but could eat their own evil dairy-full chocolate. Not that I'm pointing fingers; they're too busy helping me lick out the bowl :)

For a thicker fudge-like texture, let the chocolate sit in the freezer for 10 minutes. That is, of course, if you can wait that long...
