• 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup Orange juice + 2 tablespoons Chia = Chia gel
• 1 tablespoon Mesquite
• 1 pinch Himalayan Sea Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 3 dried, soft Apricots
• 2 teaspoons Coconut Nectar
• 4-5 tablespoons Water
To make Melted Chocolate:
• 2 tablespoons virgin Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons raw Cacao powder
• 1 tablespoon Yacaon syrup
Methods/steps
To make the Hearts:
- Grind the Pumpkin seeds into a flour.
- Add the Chia to the Orange juice and stir, let it soak for about 10 minutes.
- Now add the Pumpkin seed flour and Chia gel with the rest of the ingredients
- to the food processor and process until you have a rather loose dough.
- Spread the dough evenly on a teflex sheet using a spatula,
- put on a mesh tray and let it dry in the dehydrator for 8 hours.
- Remove the teflex sheet after about 6 hours.
- You do this by carefully folding the side of the teflex sheet underneath the dough,
- and slowly pull it to expose. Or, put another tray on top and flip!
- When the dough has become "leather like", use a heart shaped cookie cutter and start stamping the dough!
To make Melted Chocolate:
- Melt the Coconut oil in a water bath or in the dehydrator.
- Add the Cacao and Agave, stir by hand.
- Wait until the chocolate thickens before you dip the hearts.
- Sprinkle some Chia seeds over the chocolate covered
- hearts before the chocolate hardens so they stick to the chocolate.
