Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole coffee beans
- 0.5 cup Cacao butter
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a double boiler, melt the cacao butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
Once the cacao butter is fully melted, add the cocoa powder to the pot and whisk to combine until smooth.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Add the whole coffee beans to the bowl of melted chocolate and gently stir until all the beans are evenly coated.
Using a fork or slotted spoon, remove the chocolate-covered coffee beans from the bowl, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, and spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the chocolate-covered coffee beans to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy as a delicious paleo-friendly snack, keeping any leftovers refrigerated to maintain optimal texture and freshness.
