Raw Chocolate Cups With Blueberries and Cashews
- 18 cup raw cashews
- 14 cup dried blueberries
- 12 tablespoon brown rice syrup
- 1 pinch coarse sea salt
- 23 cup coconut oil, melted (divided)
- 23 cup vegan cocoa powder, divided (Ghiradelli brand recommended)
- 2 tablespoons raw agave syrup, divided
- Place the raw cashews into a small food processor and crush into a coarse powder.
- Add in the dried blueberries, brown rice syrup and salt, then pulse again until the mixture forms one big blob.
- Scoop out a heaping 1/2 tsp of the mixture.
- Roll it into a small ball, then flatten it between your palms.
- Make sure that the size of the disc is small enough to fit into the mini baking cup with a little space around the edges.
- Repeat until you have 9 discs.
- Melt 1/3 of the coconut oil in a small glass measuring cup.
- Whisk in 1/3 of the cocoa powder, then add in 1 TB of the raw agave syrup.
- Taste the mixture and add more agave if you want it sweeter.
- Lay out the baking cups onto a flat plate, then pour the chocolate into the baking cups.
- It's important that you only put enough chocolate into the bottom to just cover it.
- Place into the freezer to set for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer.
- Place the discs on top of the hardened chocolate.
- Repeat the steps for making the chocolate, then pour that over the tops of the discs until they are covered completely.
- Place in the freezer to set for another 10 minutes.
- Store in the refrigerator, and allow the cups to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating for the best taste and texture.
- You can also sub dried cherries, figs, dates or other dried fruit for the blueberries here.
- Macadamia, almond or hazelnuts can be subbed for the cashews as well.
