The perfect treat to make for your loved one this Valentine’s day – it’s so rich and indulgent, they won’t even know that it’s healthy… I promise.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup virgin organic coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 3 tbsp raw honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup or rice malt syrup
  • Celtic sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds, whole, crushed or flaked.

 

Method

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Lower the heat and whisk in the raw cacao powder, tahini and sweetener of your choice – my favourite is rice malt syrup. Continually mixing to avoid lumps then add a pinch or two of salt and the cinnamon. Take off the heat. Allow to sit for approximately 5 minutes so the mixture doesn’t spread too thin on the baking pan.
  2. Line a small baking pan with baking paper and pour the mixture onto the baking pan. The baking pan should be 1-2cm deep. Top the mixture with almonds and add more cinnamon if you wish.
  3. Cover with cling wrap and freeze flat for 30-40 minutes or until the chocolate is set. You can then break apart the chocolate and store in the fridge or freezer.
