Homemade raw heart chocolates

Here we go, a recipe for homemade heart shaped chocolates just in time for Valentine´s Day! I'm single (whatever, who needs men when you have chocolate;)) so I will be sharing these with my girlfriends, but if you're spending Valentines with a special someone this could be a good idea for a healthy dessert/treat.

Ingredients:

For the chocolate

100 g. raw cacao butter

7 tblsp. raw cacao powder

1 tblsp. coconut oil

A little sea salt - optional

Sweetener of choice, agave, honey, coconut sugar etc.

Ideas for the filling - optional :

Hazelnuts

Almonds

Goji berries

Dates
Chia seeds

Shredded coconut

Directions:

1. First of remember that all utensils must be dry or the chocolate will separate.
2. On very low heat, place the cacao butter and coconut oil in a bowl over a pan of hot water and melt slowly. 

3. Once melted, add raw cacao powder (the chocolate should be runny and easy to pour, so add the cacao slowly to make sure it doesn’t get too thick) and sea salt and mix well – I’ve found that using a metal whisk gives the best result. 
4. Add the sweetener of choice, taste, and add more if you prefer a sweeter taste.
5. When the mixture suits your taste, add your fillings of choice into the silicone mould (can be left out) and pour the chocolate into the mould using a spoon and place in the fridge or freezer for 1 hour or so.
6. Enjoy! 

Store the chocolate in the fridge; it will melt a bit if you store it at room temperature 

Homemade muesli sweetened with apple juice

Ingredients:

2 cups of oats

½ cup hazelnuts (chopped)

½ almonds (chopped)

½ cup pumpkinseeds

½ cup sunflower seeds

½ cup raisins

¼ flaxseeds

¼ chia seeds

2 small apples, juiced (or store bought apple juice, preferably without added sugar)

Directions:

1. Heat your oven to 100'c/212'f
2. Mix the oats, hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkinseeds and sunflower seeds in a big bowl
3. Add the apple juice slowly while mixing it all together, the mixture should be moist, but not wet.
4. Line a baking tray with baking paper and add the mixture evenly across the tray.
5. Put it in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, check and stir every 5-10 minutes. It is done when it has a light golden colour and the mixture is completely dry.
6. Let it cool and then add the raisins, chia seeds and flaxseeds and store in an airtight jar, it should keep up to a month this way.
7. Now enjoy! I like to add the muesli to my smoothie bowls, acai bowls, parfaits, skyr, yoghurt etc.
