Chocolate Raspberry Bon Bon

#1

I make these and they are quick and easy to make. Only 2.5 carbs but highly satisfying.

I used to make these when I was doing a raw food diet. These are rich but not sweet. The raspberry adds just the right amount of sweetness. I keep in freezer and take them out 10 minutes before I want to eat one 2.5 carbs depending on your cacao.

Chocolate Raspberry Bon Bon
4 Tablespoons Raw Cacao (I used Divine brand)
4 Tablespoons Raw Virgin Unrefined Coconut Oil (I used Trader Joe’s brand)
6 Drops Liquid Stevia (I used Sweet Leaf Stevia Clear drops)
1/8 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (I used Trader Joe’s Vanilla Bourbon Extract)
18 Fresh or Frozen Raspberries

Melt coconut oil, add cacao, Stevia and vanilla extract. Pour into 6 mini muffin sized silicone cups. Add 3 raspberries per Bon Bon. Place in freezer. Freeze for 1/2 hour. Take out of freezer 10 minutes before you’re ready to eat.

Yes not too sweet. The raspberries make it so good.

I already make the chocolates, and I have a ton of raspberries on the vine currently. I will be doing this thanks for mentioning it.

I usually take one of the chocolates, chop it up, place in a shallow dish, add some raspberries and top with whipped cream. Just another idea of what to do with all those raspberries.

That sounds delicious. I wish I had a raspberry bush. :grinning:

Similar, but quicker and easier:

  • roughly similar amounts of dark chocolate (cocoa solids first ingredient) and coconut oil or cocoa butter, melted together
  • generously pile frozen raspberries in a tiny mold (Ikea has some great silicone chocolate molds) trying somewhat to fill the nooks and crannies with the broken bits
  • drizzle chocolate mixture over the top and let pool a bit at the bottom
  • keep leftover chocolate mixture in the melting bowl with the spoon still in it. Lots of fun to pick them up as a unit when it has hardened (little things for little minds :-)). That way it’s ready to go for next time, just place it over boiling water.

The chocolate/oil hardens almost immediately into a thin, crisp shell, and left 10 minutes or so in the fridge, all has hardened, even the pooled bit at the bottom.
One could store them in the freezer, but we have them in the fridge. The family – keto and non – cannot get enough of these things!
