By now you may realise I have a little chocolate obsession! But gone are the days that I eat a family size block of Cadbury Caramello or Coconut Rough – oh those were they days! Good news is that I have discovered so many amazing chocolate recipes that have great whole food ingredients without sugar and are actually good for you! Woohoo!
This wickedly delicious recipe is thanks to Elenore Bendel Zahn of earthsprout.org and my favourite wellness activist Kriscar.com
Makes: 12 pieces
- 1 1/4 cup cashew nuts
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 3/4 cup cacao powder -1/2 cup carob powder
- 30 small pitted dates / 20 large dates
- 1/4 cup virgin organic coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Almond oil
- 2 small pinches of Himalayan salt/sea salt
- 1 pinch of chilli (depending on how spicy yours is)
Soak the nuts and seeds in a bowl for at least 5 hours, rinse well and mix into a nut butter. Soak the dates and mix into a date paste with just a small amount of the soaking water left.
Carefully melt the coconut oil over heated water.
Mix all the ingredients except the water which you put in last to adjust the consistency of the batter if it is to firm. Press the mix into a lined cake pan or mould with your loving clean hands to get that final touch!
Let set in the fridge for at least two hours and then take it out half an hour before serving so get a wee bit gooey. Let your imagination free and decorate with what ever seems great to you! Maybe some cacao powder, bee pollen and edible flowers.
* I’m way to impatient to soak the nuts for 5 hours and mine turned out ok, so it’s up to you whether you want to follow this step.
