For our most recent FP Me shoot in the UK, we were fortunate enough to have the talented Xochi Balfour along with us – thus giving us the opportunity to try some of her amazing recipes! Today we’re sharing Xochi’s recipe for Raw Chocolate, Sea Salt, and Pistachio Chunks – a delicious and healthy dairy-free alternative to fudge. Learn how to make them below!
Ingredients:
40g cashew butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder (I use Green & Blacks Fairtrade)
80g pistachio nuts
45g maple syrup
70ml coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
a pinch of sea salt (ideally pink Himalayan)
Directions:
Start by blending the nut butter and coconut oil, then add in the vanilla essence. Slowly stir in the cocoa powder ensuring there are no lumps, then add the maple syrup. Roughly chop the pistachios and stir them in, with a pinch of salt (we feel a strong duty to taste as we go to get the sea salt just right) and spoon the mixture into a small cling-film lined dish. Set in the freezer for half an hour, cut into bite-size chunks and serve. Enjoy!
