- 1 tablespoon Melrose MCT Oil, optional
- 2 tablespoons rice malt syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 cup raw cacao
- 3 tablespoons raw cashews, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chilli flakes – if you aren’t a chilli fiend like I am, please start with 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Method
- Line a small baking tray with baking paper.
- To a small saucepan, add oils, rice malt syrup and vanilla bean paste. Over a low heat, stir until melted.
- Whisk through the cacao and once well combined add the chopped cashews, chilli flakes, coconut and salt.
- Pour onto the prepared baking tray and transfer to the freezer for 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and break into pieces to enjoy. Keep the remaining chocolate in the freezer until next time!
