Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces plain rice cakes
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup freeze-dried raspberries (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small saucepan, add the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt over low heat, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Arrange the rice cakes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Using a spoon, drizzle or brush the melted chocolate evenly over the top of each rice cake. Make sure to cover the surface completely.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each chocolate-covered rice cake while the chocolate is still wet.
Evenly distribute the chopped nuts and shredded coconut over the rice cakes. If using freeze-dried raspberries, add them as well.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and hardened.
Once the chocolate is fully set, remove the rice cakes from the fridge and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade vegan chocolate-covered rice cakes!
