These Raspberry Chocolate Discs offer a rich, indulgent blend of dark chocolate, freeze-dried raspberries, and hemp seeds for a healthy, plant-based treat.
Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the vegan chocolate chips with the almond milk (or coconut oil). Stir frequently until smooth and completely melted.
Add the Raspberries: Remove from heat and add the full bag of Trader Joe's freeze-dried raspberries. Gently stir until all the raspberries are evenly coated in chocolate.
Form the Discs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the chocolate-raspberry mixture onto the prepared sheet, forming small, round discs.
Add Toppings (Optional): While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle your desired toppings over the discs. Hemp seeds add a boost of nutrition, while chopped nuts or shredded coconut provide extra texture and flavor. A pinch of sea salt can enhance the sweetness of the chocolate.
Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Notes
The Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Discs will typically last in the fridge for about 1 to 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container. To maintain their freshness and texture, be sure to keep them well-sealed to prevent moisture and odors from affecting the chocolate. These healthy chocolate snacks are perfect for Valentine's Day, a summer dessert, or any time you're craving a simple, quick, and delicious vegan treat.
