Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the raw almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they are fragrant. Stir them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
While the almonds are roasting, place a small saucepan over low heat and add coconut oil. Allow it to melt completely.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and erythritol until smooth and well blended.
Add vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate mixture, stirring to combine.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly so it thickens just a bit, but not hardens.
Once the almonds are roasted and slightly cooled, transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the almonds and toss until all the almonds are evenly coated.
Return the chocolate coated almonds to the parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and hardened.
Once set, break any clusters into individual chocolate-coated almonds if necessary, and store them in an airtight container.
