By Vegiegail

Ingredients

• Toppings:
• 1/4 cup coconut milk creamer or cream from top of coconut milk can
• 1/2 - 1 cup (4 oz container) pure cocoa butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 Tbsp finely ground sugar
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 Tbsp kahlua, chambord, cointreau or other flavored liqueur - or- 1 tsp instant coffee powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• cranberries and almond slivers
• raisins and shredded coconut
• goji berries and pumpkin seeds
• apricots and pistachios

Preparation

Step 1

If using coconut cream, chill a can of full-fat coconut milk for a few hours. Scoop the opaque cream from the top.

In a small pot on low heat, bring the cream or creamer to almost boiling. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, until everything is just about melted.

Remove from heat, and whisk for another minute. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then whisk again for 30 seconds to get a smooth texture.

Pour onto parchment paper and spread using a spoon or spatula. Top with dried fruit and nuts of choice.

Refrigerate for an hour or more, until mixture hardens. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
