100 g CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Butter
6 tbsp CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Powder
3 tbsp maple syrup or CHOC Chick Sweet Freedom
50 g cashews
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp water
1 tsp peppermint extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
- To make the chocolate: Melt the cacao butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk in the cacao powder and then the maple syrup until fully combined.
- Spoon chocolate into your chocolate moulds until they are half full. Place the mould in the freezer for 10 minutes or alternatively, leave until set.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Blend all of the remaining ingredients until they’re completely smooth and set aside.
- When the chocolate in the moulds is solid, spoon small amounts of the filling onto the centre of each chocolate, taking care not to get any on the sides.
- With the rest of your chocolate mixture, fill the moulds to the top and leave to set once again.
- Turn your chocolates out carefully, as they have soft centres, and store in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
