Ingredients
- 100g (raw, organic) cocoa butter
- 20g coconut oil
- 40g (raw, organic) cocoa powder
- 10g lucuma powder (makes the chocolate extra creamy)
- 60-70g sweetener (i used erythritol)
- 10g chia seeds
- 25g chopped hazelnuts
- 25g chopped almonds
- Bit of salt and vanilla to taste
Directions
- Step 1 Melt all the ingredients besides nuts and seeds on a small saucepan on a waterbath or on a very low heat (the mixture should not get hot at all). Whisk constantly until everyhting is dissolved.
- Step 2 Add chopped nuts and seeds, stir well.
- Step 3 Transfer the chocolate mass into candy moulds and place it into fridge until set. I decorated some moulds before pouring in the chocolate mass with gold dust, freeze-dried berry dust, hard candy dust, cocoa nibs etc stuff. The ways to decorate the candies and give them different tastes is endless.
- Step 4 Keep refrigerated, because these candies will melt quite fast at room temperature.

My name is Ingrid Joya. I am educator, coach, therapist, inspirational speaker and a mother for two gorgeous girls and one keto boy. My every day starts and ends with cooking, as inspiring and tiring as it sounds. I educate people on mindful eating and special diets (keto, low carb, gluten and caseine free etc) and provide personal consultations.
My son is on long-term ketogenic diet due to health reasons, that`s where my keto journey started. It was pretty rough in the beginning, but quite soon i realized that even very restricted diet (like keto) can be tasteful, versatile and enjoyable. I have learned that food is also our medicine, it heals our body, feeds our soul and brings us together. There is great power in every herb, flower, fruit and root, and in love we put into cooking. All together it is a playful journey from the ground to the plate.
Food, whatever kind, has to have three important components for me- it has to look good, it has to taste good and it has to be good for the body and soul! I started out writing down the recipes for me and my family, so it would be easy and fun for us to figure out what to cook tonight. Maybe you, who you are peeking through my kitchen door in this blog, will find little inspiration, too!
