1. These two steps are the only ones that I have no part in, but I thought I'd include them in the process for full transparency.To begin the process of making chocolate the first step is to open the cacao pod. When doing this at home I find it easiest to hit the shell with something like a wooden muddler or hammer, if you have one.Once you cut open the cacao pods, you'll see the cacao beans, which are covered in a viscous white 'mucilage' coating:The white jelly pulp/coating is actually edible too. Traditionally it's eaten as-is or blended with water into a juice 'cacao juice'. The flavor is sweet-tart/acidic and has similarities with soursop.The hard bean inside is the cacao bean. At this point, we have yet to ferment or roast is so it's fairly 'wet' looking with a purple color and brain-like appearance when you cut into it due to all the individual nibs inside.
2. I lined a large bowl with banana leaves then filled it with the beans, topping it with a layer of banana leaves.
3. Place the beans in a single layer across the dehydrator trays, leaving space between the beans for airflow.
4. Before roasting the beans, you'll first need to remove any beans that are broken and/or smell moldy, etc. Then, lay the beans in a single layer on parchment-lined oven tray/s. You can roast the beans whole then peel them or peel them first before roasting.If you peel the husk first then you can break the bean into the nibs and have more surface area while roasting. That way they roast faster and more evenly. However, it is much easier to peel them after roasting so the preference is up to you.

1. Set up your double boiler by adding a few inches of water to a medium saucepan, and topping with a heat-proof bowl that is slightly larger than the circumference of the pan. Make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
2. Meanwhile, if you have a large piece of cacao butter, chop it into small, even pieces. This will help it to melt quickly and evenly, without scorching.
3. Add the cacao butter to the bowl and whisk or stir gently but often, to reduce the risk of scorching.
4. Once completely melted then sift in the cacao powder and stir to thoroughly combine. *Turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the pan.**
