Equipment
- Double Boiler
- Small Tray (Glass or Ceramic)
Ingredients
- 100-110 g almond flour
- 100 g cacao butter
- 40 g cacao (3 tbsp)
- 60 g extra virgin coconut oil
- 6-7 dried dates (chopped)
- 1 tbsp raisins (whole)
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 g instant coffee (optional)
- 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
- pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Start by adding all the ingredients into a medium size bowl, except for sunflower seeds. Do not add the sunflower seeds yet because we’ll be using them towards the end.
- Place the bowl over a double boiler using low to medium heat.
- Note - Make a simple double boiler using the instructions from the Notes section below.
- Use a spatula to constantly mix the ingredients with circular movements, making sure they combine into a thick chocolate paste. It takes a few minutes until all the ingredients have combined into a the paste.
- When done, remove from the double boiler and set aside to cool down for 2 minutes.
- Next, pour the chocolate paste into a flat bottom dish (use a glass or ceramic dish).
- Sprinkle with sunflower seeds on top and wait for 1-2 minutes until the seeds have soaked into the chocolate paste.
- Last step, transfer into the fridge for a few hours or until the chocolate cookie turns solid.
- Remove from the fridge when solid and cut into cubes.
- DONE! Store at room temperature or in the fridge and enjoy without guilt!
Notes
How to make a simple double boiler
- The simplest way is to use a heat-proof bowl placed over a small pot filled with 2/3 water.
- Heat the double boiler over low to medium heat. The water in the main pot should be heated using low to medium heat otherwise you risk boiling the chocolate.
- Make sure you don’t add too much water into the pot, otherwise you risk getting water into the mixing bowl.
- You’re doing fine! Melting all the ingredients won’t take more than a few short minutes, in which time I suggest you mix from time to time using a silicone spatula.
