Ingredients
- 2 cups (50 g) puffed rice
- ½ cup (125 ml) melted virgin coconut oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup (15 g) cacao powder, sifted
- ¼ cup (35 g) pistachio nuts, finely chopped
- finely ground seeds from 6 cardamom pods
- 3 tbsp edible dried rose petal
Chilling time: 1 hour
Instructions
Line 8 muffin tins with paper cases.
Place puffed rice into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine melted coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao powder and stir until smooth. Pour cacao mixture into puffed rice, add most of the chopped pistachio nuts (reserve 1-2 tbsp for the topping) and the ground cardamom. Mix well, then transfer to paper cases.
Sprinkle tops with reserved chopped pistachios and rose petals and place into the fridge for 1 hour to set. Alternatively, you can place into the freezer for 20 minutes if you’re in a hurry. Store airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Note
• I tend to use freshly ground cardamom seeds for their superior flavour, but you could substitute ½-1 tsp ground cardamom if preferred.
• You can find edible dried rose petals at selected specialty and healthfood stores.
