Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (85% cacao or higher, sugar-free)
- 100 grams whole coffee beans (roasted)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a heat-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil.
Set up a double boiler by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Melt the chocolate and oil together, stirring continuously until smooth.
Once melted, stir in the stevia or erythritol sweetener until fully dissolved.
Remove the bowl from the heat and gently fold in the whole coffee beans until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a fork or a small spoon, place coated coffee beans individually onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-covered coffee beans for a contrasting flavor.
Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the coffee beans to an airtight container for storage.
