Additional Tips
*Irish Moss paste can be made by soaking 1 cup Irish Moss in
water for 3 – 5 hours and rinsing THOROUGHLY until rinse water turns
clear (there’ll be a lot of sand in the moss). Then blend the rinsed moss
with 2 cups pure water in a Vita-Mix until completely smooth. Leave to set in
the fridge if not using straight away.
Tip: Add 1 drop of peppermint essential oil to the filling mixture for a mint chocolate variation.
