Chocolate can be decadent, but here’s a healthy dessert recipe from the “uncookbook” Love on a Plate: The Gourmet UnCookbook
* that’s easy to make for your family. No cooking needed!
Delicious Freezer Chocolate with Marzipan Filling
This chocolate gets hard within 30 minutes of being in the freezer. It can be kept in the freezer indefinitely, but needs to be eaten right away when taken out because coconut oils melts at room temperature. Pure raw coconut oil is really good for you.
1 cup cacao powder (sifted to remove lumps)
1/4 cup carob powder (sifted to remove lumps)
1/4 cup cashew butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil (warmed to clear liquid at room temp)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix in bowl, pour in mold or dip things like fruit in it and put in freezer. Ready in one hour.
Marzipan
1 1/2 cups almond meal
1/4 cup maple syrup
Grind almonds into a fine power in a coffee grinder to make the almond meal. Then mix with the maple syrup and knead into dough. You can eat immediately or use it as a filling for the chocolate that has hardened. Stores in refrigerator for long time. For a whiter-looking marzipan, use skinned or blanched almonds.
