Vegan Raspberry Chocolates by Truvia

These adorable heart shaped chocolates make the perfect gift for a loved one and what's more they are reduced calorie too, so guilt free!

Method

Melt the coconut oil gently in the microwave, heating in short bursts of 10-15 seconds.
Add in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, Truvia and vanilla extract to the coconut oil. Stirring quickly to combine so the mixture is smooth.
Drop a teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into each section of a silicone mould or ice cube tray. Place one raspberry on top of the chocolate mixture, then top with another spoonful of chocolate to cover the raspberries.
Place the chocolates into the freezer for 10-15 minutes until set. You can also set in the fridge but it will take longer to set.
Pop the chocolates out of the mould and serve immediately, or store in the fridge until ready to serve.

100g Coconut Oil
5 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tbsp Maple Syrup
1 tsp Truvia Calorie Free Sweetener

1/3 of a teaspoon of Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener sweetens like 1 teaspoon of sugar. With texture which is crunchy just like sugar this is a great ingredient to sprinkle of cereal, yoghurt, fruit or bake with for zero-calorie sweetness.
2 tsp Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract is a superior flavouring ingredient, derived solely from the vanilla pod by soaking it in alcohol and water. Only vanilla extract has the true flavour and aroma of vanilla pods, producing a fuller, richer taste which will transform the taste of any recipe. Vanilla is also a flavour enhancer so will work with other ingredients and flavours in a recipe to give amazing results! It is a versatile ingredient which can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, try it in your cakes, cupcakes and buttercream.

We always recommend using an extract rather than essence when baking. Our favourite extract is Nielsen-Massey, it gives consistently great results, the vanilla pods are hand picked in the finest growing regions of Mexico, Tahiti and Madagascar and enter a cold extraction process to extract the vanilla from the pod whilst still preserving over 300 flavour compounds.
