Easy 3 Ingredient Chocloate
You won’t even believe how easy this chocolate that is much better for you than normal chocolate is… and the way it tastes will simply blow your mind.
Difficulty: Easy
Cooking time: less than 15 minutes
Serves: 10 or more
Ingredients
- Raw cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
- Honey ( or refined sugar-free sweetener of your choice like maple syrup or agave)
- Coconut oil
Method
- Using a ratio of 1:1:1 (i.e. one cup of each ingredients or 1/2 a cup of each – depending on how much you want to make), mix the ingredients together over a very low heat to make a chocolate sauce.
- Pour it into a lined baking tray, decorate it with nuts, seeds, berries, dried fruits and flowers of your choice and then pop it in the freezer for 5 minutes to go solid.
And that’s three-ingredient “healthier” chocolate.
Break it up like chocolate bark and enjoy it – guilt-free – whenever you need a sneaky chocolate hit.
To get into the Easter spirit, use easter moulds of your choice for a bit of fun – This will take a little longer time!
Note:
we recommend storing it in the freezer or fridge to keep it nice and solid.
All sweet treats should be eaten in moderation; this is a refined sugar and dairy free version that can be made vegan by using a sweetener other than honey.
Ingredients 450g salmon fillet ½ teaspoon salt, divided ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 30g string beans (green, yellow, or a mix), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 ¾ cups water ¾ cup quinoa (red, white, or tricolored), rinsed 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish, or 1/2 tsp. dried 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved or sliced Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon filet on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp. salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is no longer opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then flake the salmon into bite-size pieces (discard the skin). Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add 8 ounces beans; cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Rinse the beans under cold water, drain well, and set aside. Combine 1 ¾ water, ¾ quinoa, and 1/8 tsp. salt in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Whisk 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 teaspoons chopped oregano, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl. To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 dinner bowls. Arrange the salmon, beans, tomato, feta, and olives over the quinoa. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with more fresh oregano, if desired.
