Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 200 grams Dark chocolate Use milk chocolate for a sweeter option.
  • 100 grams Unsalted pistachios Can substitute with almonds or hazelnuts.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut oil Vegetable oil can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 pinch Sea salt Enhances flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Roughly chop the pistachios and set them aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
Coating
  1. Using a spoon or a brush, coat the bottoms and sides of mini silicone cupcake molds with the melted chocolate, ensuring there are no gaps.
  2. Place the coated molds in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Assembly
  1. Once the chocolate is firm, spoon a layer of chopped pistachios into each mold, pressing them down gently.
  2. Pour more melted chocolate over the pistachios until they’re fully covered. Tap gently to smooth the top.
  3. Return the molds to the fridge for another 20-30 minutes until everything is completely set.
  4. Once set, gently pop the cups out of the molds and they’re ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for a month. Use quality chocolate for better flavor.
