Ingredients
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably dairy-free)
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
– 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries (for color and flavor)
– Pink sea salt (for garnish, optional)
– Heart-shaped silicone molds
Instructions
Creating Healthy Pink Chocolate Hearts is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Molds: Begin by ensuring your heart-shaped silicone molds are clean and dry.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup (or honey) until well combined.
4. Incorporate the Color: Crush the freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries into a fine powder. Stir this powder into the melted chocolate until you achieve your desired pink hue.
5. Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the pink chocolate mixture into the heart-shaped silicone molds, filling them about three-quarters full.
6. Chill: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
7. Unmold and Garnish: Once hardened, gently remove the chocolates from the molds. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of pink sea salt on top for an extra touch.
