Ingredients
- 200 grams Brazilian nuts
- 300 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Spread the Brazilian nuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn. Once roasted, set them aside to cool.
Step 3
In a medium heat-proof bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Place the bowl over a pot with simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water, and stir the chocolate and coconut oil until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
Step 4
Once the chocolate is melted, add the maple syrup and mix well until fully incorporated. This will add a gentle sweetness and glossy texture to the chocolate.
Step 5
Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 6
Add the cooled, roasted Brazilian nuts into the bowl with the chocolate mixture and stir until they are fully coated.
Step 7
Using a spoon or fork, carefully lift each chocolate-coated nut and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 8
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a small amount of sea salt over each chocolate-coated nut to enhance the flavors.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set completely.
Step 10
Once the chocolate has fully hardened, transfer the Brazilian nuts in chocolate to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a cool treat or kept at room temperature if you prefer a softer texture. Enjoy your dairy-free chocolate indulgence!
