i currently have a sweet tooth. and lets be honest, i struggle with self control when it comes to food. so here is the recipe i am currently using in order to full fill the need of sweetness in my life without the guilt.
the foodie list:
1/3 cup cacao butter
½ cup coconut oil
½ cup cacao powder
¼ cup nut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
¼ cup goji berries
¼ cup pistachios, chopped
¼ cup coconut flakes
¼ cup cacao nibs
the how to bit:
do the old bowl over the saucepan of water trick and place the cacao butter and oil in the bowl over the saucepan of hot water. leave to melt and remove, works really quickly. stir in the cacao powder, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla & syrup, keep on stirring until she’s smooth as.
line a tin (i use a slice tin) with baking paper, pour in the mixture. sprinkle with remaining ingredients and refrigerate for 1 hour. cut into shards then store for up to a week (if you can actually not devour it within that time frame) in an airtight container in the fridge.
serve with your favourite cup of tea.
