Can I make chocolate crackles without copha?
Yes, you can substitute copha with other solid fats like coconut oil, butter or melted chocolate. However, coconut oil is not the best option as it melts at room temperature. Check out my chocolate crackles made without copha, the recipe uses melted chocolate!

Expert Tips
- Measure your baking ingredients accurately: Check out my helpful guide on how to measure basic ingredients.
- Proper Mixing: Ensure that all dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed before adding the copha. This helps to avoid any lumps and ensures that each crackle has a uniform flavor and texture.
- Melting Copha Correctly: Melt the copha slowly over low heat to prevent it from burning. Copha should be completely liquid before mixing it into the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Chill Properly: Refrigerate the crackles until they are firm. This usually takes about an hour, but they can be left longer if needed. Chilling not only sets them but also enhances their texture.
What is Copha made of?
Copha is made from hydrogenated coconut oil, which solidifies at room temperature. It’s commonly used in Australian cooking for its ability to give desserts a firm texture.
