Description

Embark on a flavorful journey with this delightful cacao bark, a symphony of tropical and nuanced flavors. Imagine the luscious sweetness of mango and coconut mingling harmoniously, creating a taste that evokes sun-drenched beaches and gentle breezes. The addition of strawberries introduces a bright, tart counterpoint, awakening the palate with its refreshing zest.

The cacao butter lends a delicate, floral aroma that subtly enhances the overall sensory experience. This cacao bark distinguishes itself with a satisfying textural contrast. Studded with salted pepitas and sunflower seeds, each bite offers a delightful crunch that perfectly complements the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth cacao base.

The interplay of textures elevates this treat, making it irresistibly addictive. The saltiness not only enhances the sweetness but also provides a savory depth that keeps you coming back for more. The foundation of this exquisite bark lies in the careful blending of melted cacao butter, dark cocoa powder, and a touch of sweetener.

This meticulous process ensures a harmonious balance of flavors, where the rich, intense cocoa notes are subtly tempered by the creamy cacao butter and a hint of sweetness. This creates a decadent yet balanced flavor profile that will appeal to a wide range of palates. While mango and coconut form the heart of this recipe, feel free to let your creativity guide you.

Consider incorporating other dried fruits, such as blueberries or raspberries, to introduce unique flavor dimensions. Similarly, experiment with a variety of roasted and salted nuts like cashews, sliced almonds, or pistachios to add interesting textures and complementary flavors. Each addition will transform the bark into a personalized culinary masterpiece.

This bark is a treat that is welcome for both special occasions and simple nights at home.

Instructions

    1.
    Heat water to a boil in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler you can easily make one by adding water to a small saucepan and placing a heatproof bowl over the top of it.
    2.
    Add in the cacao butter. It is best to weigh it out, but it is around 1 cup of cubed cacao butter (130 g). The weight will differ depending on how large or small the pieces are.
    3.
    Melt the cacao butter until there are only a few small pieces left. Whisk them to melt them the rest of the way.
    4.
    Add in the dark cocoa powder, Swerve confectioner’s sugar and almond extract. Also, add a small pinch of salt.
    5.
    Whisk well to combine making sure everything is dissolved and nothing is at the bottom of the pan that needs to be mixed in.
    6.
    Pour the cacao mixture into a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Do not smooth the chocolate to the edges. Allow it to spread on its own so it is not too thin.
    7.
    Sprinkle the pepitas and sunflower seeds on top. I used salted and roasted seeds as they help to season the cacao bark. Top with dried strawberries and dried mango (broken into smaller pieces).
    8.
    Sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top.
    9.
    Chill for at least an hour until hard. Crack into bite-sized pieces. Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer (if you like them extra crunchy).
