Ingredients:

To make the chocolate:

• ½ cup of coconut oil

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground vanilla bean
• ¼ cup of rice malt syrup
• ¼ tsp good quality salt

 

For the toppings:

• ½ cup raw almonds, chopped and lightly toasted
• ½ cup raw cashews, chopped and lightly toasted
• ¼ sunflower seeds, lightly roasted
• ¼ cup chia seeds

Method:

1. Toast your nuts and seeds that you have chosen to use as toppings over medium heat in a small dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Be sure to stir continuously to avoid burning of nuts and seeds. Set aside.
2. Pour your coconut oil, raw cocoa powder, spices, rice malt syrup, tahini paste and salt in a food processor and mix well. To achieve best consistency be sure to not use melted coconut oil, but solid or softened one.
3. Pour your chocolate mixture into your molds and sprinkle with your toppings.
4. Freeze for about 20 minutes.
