INGREDIENTS
1 cup cashews, soaked for 2-4 hours
1 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
1 bar (100grms) of your favourite dark chocolate (or make your own by combining one part each of cacao paste, coconut oil, cacao powder and maple syrup)
DIRECTIONS
Gently melt your chocolate. This is best done by breaking the chocolate into small pieces and placing it in a small glass bowl. Add hot water to another, larger bowl (about 1/3 full). Place the smaller bowl with the chocolate in the water. Stir every now and then until all the chocolate is melted.
Add 1 tbsp melted chocolate into each of the moulds you are using (these should be small, bite-sized moulds). Spread the chocolate evenly around the moulds, making sure you also cover the sides of the moulds. Place in the freezer to set.
Add all ingredients for the cream filling to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add a little water (only) if needed to blend.
Fill each mould 3/4 full with the cinnamon cream. Place in the freezer until solid. 5. Add a final layer of melted chocolate on top, then place the chocolates back in the freezer or fridge to set. Enjoy!
