it has been far too long! ..okay so maybe only a week. either way, these delectable treats seemed like the perfect way to start back again :)FROM 101 COOKBOOKS (101cookbooks.com)
(makes 36 clusters)
2 1/2cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut, lightly toasted and cooled
1/2cup toasted almonds, cooled and chopped
7-8oz dark chocolate, chopped
1tbsp finely ground espresso beans (optional)
a big grain finishing salt - if you can get your hands on a smoked one, great
Directions:
1) Line a baking sheet w/parchment paper or a Silpat.
2) Combine the coconut & almonds in a large bowl.
3) Place the chocolate in a double boiler (or a bowl placed over a bit of simmering water) to melt along with the ground espresso.
4) Pour the chocolate over the coconut mixture & stir to combine.
5) Let cool a few minutes and then drop by the tablespoonful onto baking sheet.
6) Finish with a few grains of salt on top of each.
*Notes: The mixture will be a bit crumbly, but will set as the chocolate cools. If your kitchen is on the cool side the clusters will set up over the course of an hour or so. If you want to speed up the process a bit, pop them in the refrigerator.
