Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 100% cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons uncooked quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons candied oranges, diced in small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink himalayan salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted white chocolate, optional (use vegan if desired)

Instructions
 

  • Toast raw quinoa over medium-high heat until slightly browned and nutty aroma.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together cocoa powder and melted coconut oil. Stir in toasted quinoa, maple syrup, and stevia.
  • Pour mixture onto a plate or sheet pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Sprinkle pistachios, dried cranberries, candied oranges, and salt over the melted chocolate mixture. Drizzle white chocolate over and use a toothpick to create swirl effect if desired.
  • Freeze for 1 hour. Break into pieces and enjoy! Store leftovers in freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

If you don't have liquid stevia, add in a bit more maple syrup to reach desired sweetness.
