Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brazilian nuts
- 250 grams Vegan dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the Brazilian nuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
While the nuts are cooling, roughly chop the vegan dark chocolate into small pieces to ensure smooth and even melting.
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the chopped vegan dark chocolate and coconut oil. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and coconut oil have completely melted together, forming a smooth mixture.
Add the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring well to combine.
Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Dip each cooled Brazilian nut into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure they are completely coated. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place each chocolate-coated nut onto the parchment-lined surface. After coating all the nuts, sprinkle them lightly with sea salt before the chocolate sets.
Allow the chocolate-coated nuts to harden at room temperature. If you're in a hurry, place them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the vegan Brazilian nuts in chocolate to an airtight container. Store at room temperature or in the fridge, depending on your preferred firmness of the chocolate.
