🍓 Ingredient Notes
Earth Echo Chocolate Bliss Bites: These chocolates melt into silky bliss, making the perfect medium for making chocolate puddles. The sea salt and caramel flavor greatly complements the strawberry and almond butter flavors.
Coconut oil: A small amount of coconut oil helps these chocolate puddles set in the freezer.
Almond butter: Almond butter works well with the flavor of strawberry and chocolate. If you aren’t an almond butter fan, feel free to swap it out for any nut or seed butter you prefer.
Strawberry powder: Freeze-dried strawberry powder adds a delicious concentrated burst of strawberry flavor and also adds a nice pop of color to these chocolate puddles.
Hemp seeds: While this is an optional ingredient, I like to dust these chocolate puddles with hemp seeds for additional protein and crunch.
🥣 How to Make Chocolate Puddles
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth.
- Working in teaspoon portions, spoon the melted chocolate into circles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Pop the baking sheet into the freezer to set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and spoon almond butter into the center of each circle.
- Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the almond butter, then sprinkle each puddle with strawberry powder and hemp seeds, if using.
- Pop the tray back into the freezer to set.
- Enjoy!
🥡 Storage
For the best results keep these chocolate puddles stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
