I'm digging around for sugar-free chocolate recipes. Surprisingly, I haven't had a whole lot of luck. I found one that is suger-free, gluten-free, and dairy free. ( http://suchtreasures.wordpress.com/2008/01/19/homemade-chocolate-chunks-sugar-free-dairy-free-gluten-free/ and http://suchtreasures.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/homemade-chocolate-chunks-agave-sweetened-and-gf-df/ )
This one looks doable: http://forfood.rezimo.com/?p=393 Homemade Semi Sweet chocolate Chips: Ingredients: 12 oz (340 grams) unsweetened chocolate 1 Tablespoon of Butter 12 Tablespoons of Fructose 1/4 Cup of Milk (preferably whole milk)
Directions: Set-up a double-boiler (or make your own with 1 large pot, a strainer, and one small pot - see picture bellow) with water. Don’t fill up too much water, we don’t want any to splatter into the chocolate!
Set the double boiler on high heat. Add the butter and fructose and start melting it. Add the milk, and stir together until the butter has completely melted, then stir in your chocolate pieces. Once the water of the double boiler has started to boil, reduce the heat to low - or the chocolate will burn. Stir constantly until the chocolate has almost completely melted, then remove from heat and continue to stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
Pour into a mold. I used a silicon bread mold b/c it’s easiest to loosen the chocolate once it’s hardened. But, I’m sure you could use some sort of other plastic container.
The chocolate will re solidify with time…I was impatient and put mine in the freezer.
Once the chocolate is completely solid, press it out of the mold and chop it into chips on a chopping block with a large knife.
This makes enough for one chocolate chip cookie recipe.
(you could probably substitute splenda or something like that for fructose, if you can't find any fructose. From what I read, that might be a better idea. You might have to experiment a little to get the chocolate just right)
