The story behind this recipe
We all love sweets, and if we can't resist a dessert, one solution is to eat something healthy. Below, I've prepared a "chocolate" (I named it chocolate because of its shape, as it doesn't contain a single drop of cocoa), made with quality ingredients that won't put your health at risk. For 2 bars, I used: 2 cups of coconut flakes that I turned into butter (you can find the recipe here), 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 cup of Canadian cranberries from Alevia, 2 tablespoons of raw unsalted pistachios from Alevia, 1 teaspoon of poppy seeds, 1/2 glass of soy milk, and a pinch of salt. For the garnish, I used cranberries and pistachios. Blend the coconut flakes well to get a creamy butter, then mix by hand with the rest of the ingredients. You should achieve a homogeneous mixture that is easy to shape. I put the composition into a chocolate mold and pressed it down well. I covered it with plastic wrap, then refrigerated it for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
