Ingredients
1 cup cacao butter (chunks or buttons)
6–7 tablespoons cacao powder (unsweetened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup or another sugar-free sweetener
¼ cup toasted shredded coconut
1 tablespoons chia seeds
½ cup macadamia nuts
Instructions
-
Place a heat resistant bowl over a pan 1/3 full of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer. Place the cacao butter in the bowl and once melted, add the cacao powder, vanilla, maple syrup and gently stir for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Place a frying pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the coconut. Toss until lightly toasted. You could also keep the pan over very low heat for this.
-
Add the coconut, chia seeds and macadamia nuts to the chocolate mixture and stir. Pour into fun-shaped moulds or regular ice cube moulds. You could also line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper and fold the edges up, then pour the mixture to make chocolate bark.
-
Chill for 1 hour in the fridge.
