Paleo Chocolate Recipe

Hello Faithful readers

I loved making this chocolate, it was so easy, SO YUMMY and so PRETTY!

So many flavour opportunities here, i made the basic recipe into a maple pecan and my body thanked me! :-)

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons Organic coconut oil

3 Tablespoons Almond Butter

4 Tablespoons Cacao powder

1 Tsp Vanilla extract

1-2 Tablespoons Unprocessed Honey 

(This depends on your taste and how sweet you would like it)

Then add whatever you would like to change it up, e.g. a pecan and a tsp of maple syrup...

So super easy just put all the ingredients together and mix them up in a heat resistant bowl on top or a pot with some water in it that is boiling (a double boiler) :-)

Then once they are all melted and mixed together you can add your creative mix ups and pop it into whatever form you would like it to dry in, e.g flat sheet to crack into shards, little paper patty pans like i did, etc etc

Then pop into freezer and enjoy within 30 minutes, leave in freezer and EAT away

NOM NOM NOM

Enjoy

God Bles Y'all

This was the first recipe i made the night before the party and it really looked like it was gonna taste AWESOME, but alas i did not like it at all, WAY too sweet and not yummy :-(

Paleo Salted Caramel Choc Macadamia Fudge 

stuff you need… 

10 fresh pitted dates
1 cup boiling water
2 heaped tbs raw cacao
pinch rock salt
4 tbs coconut oil
1/2 cup lightly toasted macadamias

now what…

Pop the dates in a bowl.
Pour over the boiling water and push them down with a spoon so that they are covered best you can. Leave to sit for 5 mins. You could take a quick shower. Or paint your toenails. Or just watch them soak. Whatever floats your boat.
Now add the dates and water to your food processor and blend to combine.
Add the coconut oil and raw cacao and blend until smooth.
Pour into a small baking paper lined container.
Sprinkle the macadamias on top and push them down a bit.
Sprinkle with a bit of rock salt and pop in to the freezer to set for 30 minutes before slicing.

So Guys this was not really to our taste at all, and it was not set at all after 30minutes :-( And even when i took it out of the freezer after being in there all night it was still softish and as soon as i tried to pick a piece up it just lost shape and smooshed up :-(

So that was reinvented into some yummy protein balls, so glad i could salvage it!

So all i did was pop the fudge back in the food processor, mixed in almond meal, desicated coconut, chia seeds, pure peppermint oil, and a handful of mixed nuts and whazzed away until i got the rolling consistency i was after, rolled the balls and popped them onto a bed of coconut in a round container and swirled the container around and WHAM they were coated ready and soooo YUMMY and the best part it SOOOOO Good for you! :-)

Hope if you try it it comes out really nice if not then you now have a backup plan!

Chocolate Paleo Pudding with Coconut Whipped cream

2 ripe bananas

4 medjool dates, pits removed

1/2 cup cacao powder

1.5 teaspoons coconut milk

1 tablespoon maple syrup/ raw honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Place all ingredients into a bowl of a food processor (i added a few sprigs of fresh mint leaves as well remember to pick the leaves off and only use them), process all ingredients till they are smooth and well incorporated.

Transfer pudding to bowls of choice then refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Top pudding with coconut whipped cream to serve makes about 3-4 servings

Coconut whipped cream

1 can coconut milk (full fat)

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Place the can of coconut milk in the fridge over night

Open can without shaking or turning upside down. Carefully spoon out the top layer on thick coconut cream that has gathered at the top and add to mixing bowl (you can reserve the white liquid that is left in the can for a smoothie perhaps)

Add the maple syrup and the vanilla extract to the coconut cream 

Whip the ingredients with a hand or stand mixer till it has come to thick whipped peaks, start on low and move to a higher speed for about 5 minutes depending on the strength of your mixer.

the whipped mixture can be refrigerated in an air tight container for 2-3 days.

Popular request Flour-less Brownie

Hello faithful readers

As per popular request here is the yummy flour less brownie recipe, enjoy!

 If i were to do it again id add blueberries and some coconut too, and be careful if you have a fan forced oven remember do the temp at 150 degrees instead of 170 degrees and keep an eye on it i overcooked mine :-(

Flourless Brownies

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened cacao powder
• 1 cup of coconut palm sugar*
• ¼ cup + 1 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 
  

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). In a bowl, mix all the ingredients until velvety smooth (I used my Vitamix!). Pour into a parchment paper lined 8 x 4 loaf pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownies will be soft in the middle at 30 minutes and have a slight jiggle. Leave the brownies for at least 5 hours before cutting and eating (I personally couldn’t wait that long and I put them in the fridge after about 15 min of cooling down time and then ate them about an hour later!).

This recipe makes 8 brownies.

*I now use 3/4 cups maple syrup (Grade B) in place of the palm sugar for a moist and gooey texture. Cooked for 30-35 minutes the center will appear to be uncooked but after cooling for a few hours (or in the fridge) it will settle and be more firm. The texture will be more like a molten chocolate cake.
