INGREDIENTS (MAKES 36 – SMALL)
3/4 CUP COCONUT OIL, MELTED & COOLED
1/4 CUP + 1 TBS PURE MAPLE SYRUP
1/4 CUP TAHINI
3/4 CUP RAW CACAO POWDER
1/8 TSP SEA SALT
1/4 CUP CHOPPED CASHEWS
METHOD
• WHISK WET INGREDIENTS IN A MEDIUM BOWL
• ADD IN CACAO AND SALT, MIX THOROUGHLY
• POP A FEW PIECES OF CASHEWS INTO EACH MOULD/PATTY CASES ETC (I USED SILICONE MINI CUPCAKE TRAYS) AND TOP WITH CHOCOLATE MIXTURE
• POP STRAIGHT INTO THE FREEZER TO SET. STORE IN THE FRIDGE
– YOU CAN LEAVE THE TAHINI OUT TO MAKE THIS JUST PLAIN RAW CHOCOLATE
– IF YOU MAKE THESE WITH WARM/HOT OIL, THE OIL MAY SEPARATE FROM THE MAPLE SYRUP WHEN IT SETS, SO HALF OF THE CHOCOLATE WILL BE EXTRA SWEET AND THE OTHER HALF WILL BE BITTER, ALLOW THE OIL TO COOL AND SLIGHTLY THICKEN BEFORE COMBINING WITH SYRUP
– HONEY/RICE MALT SYRUP COULD BE USED INSTEAD OF MAPLE SYRUP
– YOU COULD ADD IN OTHER CHOPPED NUTS/SEEDS/SUPERFOOD POWDERS/COCONUT/DRIED FRUIT ETC FOR ADDED NUTRITION AND DIFFERENT FLAVOURS
