Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brazilian nuts
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa, sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 10 drops Stevia (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the Brazilian nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
Using a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate gently. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and mix in the vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a sweeter chocolate coating, add a few drops of stevia to taste.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each toasted Brazilian nut into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring it is completely covered. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the dipping process with all the nuts. Allow the chocolate-covered nuts to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 20 minutes to hasten the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the nuts to an airtight container and store them in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
