The sharp raspberry and frozen nature of these chocolates make them wonderfully refreshing. Toasted pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries add a lovely little crunch and look so beautiful.
Frozen Raspberry & Pistachio Vegan Chocolates
The Plenish M*lk gives these chocolates a creamier, milk chocolate texture and flavour, lighter than other homemade vegan and paleo chocolates.
This recipe makes 12-16 chocolates.
Ingredients:
6 tbsp Coconut Oil
5 tbsp Cacao Powder
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Sea Salt
3 tbsp of Plenish Cashew or Almond M*lk
65g Frozen Raspberries
2 tbsp Pistachios
1 tbsp Crumbled Freeze-Dried Raspberries
Method:
- Toast the pistachios in a preheated oven for 5 minutes at 180 degrees to enhance their nutty flavour and maximize crunch. Allow them to cool and then coarsely chop.
- In a small pan gently melt the coconut oil until it starts to liquefy then add the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla and salt, and stir well to combine. Add the Plenish M*lk one tablespoon at a time, stirring or whisking well in between each addition.
- Fill the moulds halfway with the chocolate mix and add one frozen raspberry to each mould. Then spoon a little more chocolate into each mould to fill it, finishing with a sprinkle of the chopped toasted pistachios and the freeze-dried raspberries.
- Freeze for at least an hour before serving.
