Ingredients

• 6 pieces Plain rice cakes
• 100 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 cup Fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chocolate spread. Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small pieces to ensure even melting.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Allow the spread to cool slightly to thicken.

Step 4

Arrange the rice cakes on a flat serving plate.

Step 5

Using a spoon, spread a generous layer of the prepared dairy-free chocolate spread over each rice cake.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate spread for an added crunch.

Step 7

Top with fresh fruit slices like strawberries or bananas for a burst of natural sweetness and additional flavor.

Step 8

Serve the dairy-free rice cakes immediately, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate spread to set before serving.
