I put this recipe together on an island for friends to share. I love making up recipes in other people’s kitchens because it challenges me to use new ingredients and different equipment (or sometimes no equipment). Plus, merely being in a new environment ignites my foodie creativity. Now, without further ado, here is some delicious chocolate to super-power your day and your life. The spices are anti-inflammatory, the berries are loaded with antioxidants and chocolate is good for the soul! —EvE
SERVES 8 TO 12
CHOCOLATE
1 cup (225 g) coconut oil
⅓ cup (80 ml) maple syrup
⅓ cup (40 g) cacao powder
2 tbsp (12 g) ground ginger
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp (11 g) coffee powder
TOPPINGS
¼ tsp fleur de sel
¼ cup (35 g) raspberries
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp (9 g) shredded coconut
Melt the coconut oil in a pot over low heat, and then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until the mixture becomes liquid chocolate: smooth, thick and delicious. Adjust the amounts according to taste and add whatever else you like. Top with the toppings and leave in the freezer or fridge until it has hardened up, which will only take 10 to 15 minutes.
