Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cocoa butter
- 100 grams Cocoa powder
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Almonds
- 50 grams Hazelnuts
- 30 grams Dried cranberries
- 30 grams Dried apricots, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing a silicone chocolate mold or line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the almonds and hazelnuts. Set aside with the chopped dried fruits.
In a double boiler, gently melt the cocoa butter over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and glossy.
Stir the chopped nuts, cranberries, and apricots into the chocolate mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared chocolate mold or spread evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Gently tap the mold or baking sheet on a counter to release any air bubbles.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Once set, remove the chocolate from the mold or break it into pieces if using a baking sheet.
Store the fruit and nut chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
