Ingredients
- 300 grams Vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 50 grams Raw almonds
- 50 grams Dried cranberries
- 30 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 20 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 30 grams Pistachios, shelled and chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleaning up easier.
Step 2
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Meanwhile, roughly chop the almonds and pistachios if they are not pre-chopped. Ensure all your toppings are ready for quick addition once the chocolate is melted.
Step 4
Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer, about 5 mm thick, for optimal texture and shape.
Step 5
While the chocolate is still warm, evenly sprinkle the raw almonds, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and pistachios over the top.
Step 6
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere properly.
Step 7
Finish by sprinkling the Himalayan pink salt evenly over the mixture to enhance flavors and add a gourmet touch.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate bark to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or speed up the process by chilling it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes until fully set.
Step 9
Once the bark is set, break it into uneven, bite-size pieces for an artisanal and rustic appearance.
Step 10
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for a slightly longer shelf life.
