Ingredients

• 6 Rice cakes
• 100 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 30 grams Chopped nuts or seeds (optional)
• 20 grams Shredded coconut (optional)
• 50 grams Fresh berries or pomegranate seeds (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the rice cakes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt them together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully smooth and melted. Alternatively, you can melt them using a double boiler on the stovetop.

Step 4

Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until the mixture is well combined.

Step 5

Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over each rice cake, covering the top evenly. You can use the back of the spoon to spread it if needed.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds and shredded coconut over the top of the chocolate-covered rice cakes for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Allow the chocolate to harden by placing the rice cakes in the refrigerator for about 5-10 minutes or until set.

Step 8

Just before serving, top with fresh berries or pomegranate seeds if using, for a refreshing burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting.
