GF, DF, SF, Vegan, Keto-Friendly
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250ml) coconut cream
- ⅓ cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup cacao butter
- 3 tbsp mesquite powder
- 10-12 drops liquid stevia, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon flakey sea salt
- 100g dark chocolate
Method:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together all ingredients excluding the chocolate until just combined.
- Carefully pour into a silicone ice cube tray and place in the freezer. Leave to set for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- When set, prepare the chocolate by melting in a double boiler. Set this up by placing the chocolate in a bowl sitting over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until no lumps remain then remove from the heat.
- Transfer to a new bowl.
- To assemble, remove the frozen squares from the silicone moulds and dip in the melted chocolate. Place in on a wire rack to let the chocolate drip down and harden.
- Drizzle with the leftover chocolate and sprinkle over a little extra sea salt. Store in the fridge.
