Vegan Coconut Milk Slab

🥥 Vegan Coconut Nut Slab with Cardamom and Orange

This delicious recipe is for people who like a toned-down version of cacao. For some, the taste and flavour of pure cacao butter and powder is a little potent, so I created this recipe with coconut cream to tone it down and give it a dreamy, creamy texture! 😍

I first made this in our tiny kitchen in Italy, right before my book was released.

🌱 Here is the recipe

– 1 cup of cacao powder
– 1/2 cup of cacao butter
– 1/4 cup of maple syrup
– 1/4 cup of virgin coconut oil
– Pinch of pink salt
– 1/2 cup of coconut cream
– 2 drops of Cardamom oil and 8 drops of Wild Orange oil (dōTERRA only!)
– 1/3 cup of walnuts
– 1/3 cup of brazil nuts
– 1 teaspoon of Lucuma powder
– 1 scoop of hemp protein

👩‍🍳 How to make it, step by step

1. Scatter the walnuts and brazil nuts into a silicone tray (or a lined slice tray).
2. Gently melt the cacao butter and coconut oil over a double boiler. Take the bowl off the saucepan as soon as it’s melted… it doesn’t need to get hot!
3. Slowly add the cacao powder, maple syrup, salt, coconut cream, lucuma and hemp protein, mixing well until smooth.
4. Stir through the Cardamom and Wild Orange oils.
5. Pour the chocolate over the nuts.
6. Place into the fridge and serve in about an hour.

It melts quickly because of the coconut cream, but it’s so smooth and delicious it won’t last long!! Keep it in the fridge.
