How to Craft Sugar-Free Puffed Quinoa and Cacao Nib Chocolate Bars for Vegan, Gluten-Free Indulgence
- Set aside a silicon mold. In a spacious glass measuring cup, pour the cacao powder. Set aside.
- As the mixture approaches a smooth consistency, combine it with the remaining 1 cup of coconut oil in a large mixing bowl. After the mixture has fully dissolved, carefully lift the pan from the heat source and swiftly incorporate the vanilla and peppermint essences using a vigorous whisking motion.
- As the whisk glides effortlessly through the mixture, the cacao powder seamlessly integrates, yielding a deep, velvety brown hue that radiates its aromatic essence. Add sugar to taste and adjust to suit your personal preference for sweetness.
- Gently fold in the toasted puffed quinoa and dark, crunchy cacao nibs. Prepare the compound for individual serving by portioning it evenly across nine molds, then store in a refrigerator at a temperature below 40°F (4°C) until it reaches a firm consistency within approximately one hour.
