Recipe Ingredients

Recipe Ingredients

Cashews – the basis of the filling of the bars. Before cooking, soak cashews in cold water for 8 hours or overnight.

Refined coconut oil – we will use it in melted form. It is advisable that the butter does not melt at room temperature. If the butter is solid, the chocolate-free bars will hold their shape better.

Coconut milk – the liquid ingredient in the recipe. It will help the blender grind food faster.

Coconut sugar – the sweetener in our recipe. You can use maple syrup instead. The bars turned out not very sweet. Taste the filling while chopping. You may want to add more sugar.

Vanilla extract will give the dessert a magical taste.

Blackcurrant – the main character of our dessert. I used fresh berries. If desired, you can use frozen currants.

Dark chocolate – another important ingredient. Buy only good chocolate. Better yet, do it yourself. I have a recipe for delicious homemade chocolate on my website.

Next, pour the filling into the mold and distribute evenly. Place the mold in the freezer for 2 – 3 hours until hardened. When the filling has hardened, remove it from the mold and cut into portions. I got 12 bars. Place the bar preparations in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.

Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or double boiler and temper it. Heat the chocolate to 45°C / 110°F. Then cool to 27°C / 80°F. Stir the chocolate constantly with a silicone spatula. So that the chocolate cools down quickly, put something cold under the bowl.

Then dip each bar in chocolate and place on parchment paper. Place the bars in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set the chocolate. When the chocolate hardens, please yourself and your loved ones with this delicious dessert.
