How To Make Edible Crayons || Krayon Yang Bisa Di Makan? Mau Dong!

Hi Friends,

Did you know on March 31st was National Crayon Day?. I wanted to blog about it but Easter gatherings and whatnot kind of took some of my precious Steemit time 😂 So only now I can blog about it.

The kids and I made edible crayons for National Crayon Day. Not too neat as real Crayola would, but at least ours could really be used to color drawings as well 😂

But my gosh, just like my first time making vegan modeling chocolate (from scratch), it took me a bag of cocoa butter (250 g at $16.99 😅) for only 2 chocolate covered apples and a little modeling chocolate, that was expensive trials and errors, although in the end I did get cute apples.

The same with these crayons.

I used half bag of cocoa butter to make them and not all was a success. While the blue and red turned up good, as what modeling chocolate should be, the green one was gritty 🙄

Wish vegan white chocolates are easier to find. Hopefully someday would be much more affordable as well.

For now, I will keep creating recipe myself until I perfected mine too. Seriously tho, if you Google, there isn't a single recipe how to make vegan white modeling chocolate from scratch or even regular vegan modeling chocolate from scratch (at least I couldn't find any), so am pretty happy with my result.

Enough rambling, here is how I made them bad boys 😊

Ingredients - For One Color

1/4 c cocoa butter chips
1/3 c icing sugar
2 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
2 1/2 - 3 tbsp vegan/plant based protein powder, vanilla (mine was Vega, protein & greens)
gel food coloring (Wilton is vegan friendly)
1/2 tbsp clear corn syrup

Additional

enough corn syrup
edible paper
edible pen

How To

Melt cocoa butter in microwave at 30 seconds intervals (up to 2 mins)
Stir in coconut oil to melt, let stand for 10 mins at room temperature

Stir in icing sugar followed with protein powder
Stir in food coloring (color won't mixed, no worries)
Let chill until firm, or you can freeze it too, only 15 minutes or so it would be solid hard

Take out from freezer, break apart
Heat a chunk of chocolate at 10 seconds intervals, just until melt, not boiling
Stir in enough corn syrup, 1 tsp at a time, mixture will become thicken, but there would be so much grese out. You want to pour the oil out.
Place mass into ziplock and chill to harden in the fridge (8-10 mins)

Take out and massage with your hand, using plastic hand gloves if needed, and shape into crayons
Let chill to harden again (5 mins)

Cut edible paper into rectangle, moisten it with water and attach it on crayon. Let chill again (to dry paper)
With edile pen write crayon on edible paper.

Ta-daaaa 😊

Hai teman!

Tanggal 31 Maret kemarin, disini Hari Crayon Se-Nasional. Lucu yah ada hari gituan 😂

Saya dan anak2 buat crayon yang bisa dimakan 😂 Dasar ga ada kerjaan yak, ayam enak kok makan crayon 😂

Tenang2, ini crayon terbuat dari cokelat kok 😉

Ini resepnya, kalau tertarik, tapi vegan yak, mengolah cokelat sendiri tanpa memakai produk hewani

Bahan2

1/4 gelas cocoa butter (bongkahan cacao mentah, bahan dasar buat cokelat)
1/3 gelas gula bubuk
2 1/2 sdm minyak kelapa yang solid (bukan yang cair)
3 sdm bubuk protein dari tumbuhan
pewarna makanan yang berbahan dasar minyak (gel) bukan cairan
1/2 sdm sirup jagung

Bahan Tambahan

sirup jagung secukupnya
kertas yang bisa dimakan (beli online)
pena yang berisi pewarna makanan (beli online)

Cara Membuat

Cairkan bongkahan cacao, aku sih pakai microwave, setiap 30 detik, ku aduk (hingga 2 menit)
Masukkan dan aduk hingga mencair minyak kelapa solid
Diamkan selama 10 menit
Masukkan gula bubuk, aduk
Masukkan bubuk protein, aduk
Beri pewarna serta sirup jagung
Masukkan kulkas hingga mengeras
Patahkan cokelat dan ambil satu patahan
Lelehkan di microwave sebentar, lalu beri sirup jagung 1 sdt setidaknya, aduk hingga mengental. Jika menghasilkan minyak, buang minyaknya
Bungkus cokelat lunak ini dan masukkan ke kulkas sebentar, biar agak mengeras
Keluarkan dari kulkas dan bentuk menjadi krayon
Potong kertas (yang bisa dimakan), lembabkan dengan air dan bungkus krayon. Masukkan kulkas hingga kertas mengeras
