easy chocolate dessert recipes

This is the ultimate in easy chocolate dessert recipes, you can whip it up in five minutes yet it is gourmet to the extreme! It looks fabulous and tastes even better. These chocolate balls are just the shizzle.

Carob Recipes

I really like to use carob in my recipes and give preference to this over cacao as cacao is a stimulant and I prefer to get my kicks elsewhere, but you can use either or for this recipe, the difference is that carob has a sweeter chocolate flavor whereas cacao has that slightly bitter dark chocolate flavor.

If you do prefer to use cacao then the recipe will be slightly different so I have featured both versions.

Carob Recipes Ingredients:

1 cup almonds
1.5 cups raw carob powder
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup date honey or agave nectar
1/4 cup water

Cacao Recipes Ingredients:

1 cup almonds
0.5 cups raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup date honey or agave nectar

Method:

Place the almonds in a food processor and process until the almonds are finely chopped.

Next, add the carob or cacao powder, pine nuts, and shredded coconut and process quickly to mix it all together well.

Then, while the processor is running, pour the liquid ingredients in and allow to form a thick dough.

Roll into balls, roll the balls in shredded coconut, ground almonds or some more chocolate powder.

Place into the freezer to set for an hour or two.

Enjoy!

Makes between 20 and 30 chocolate balls.
