Chili-Choco Sweets

This is Luise’s favorite version of our Choco-Almond Sweets. Instead of using almonds we’ve added some chili powder.

Chili-choco sweets
Makes around 20

15 fresh dates
2 tbsp coconut oil
30 g dried coconut
2 tbsp cocoa powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla powder
½ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon strong chili powder (1 full tsp if you’re up for it …)

Mix all the ingredients in a blender (or food processor) for 1 minute. Form 20 small round balls with your hands. Roll all or some of them in cocoa powder if you like. Put in the fridge for a while before serving. Garnish with thin slices of fresh chili.

Incredible blog. Love the layout and easy navigation. I found it from tastespotting.com. I really like the simplicity of the recipes, compared with 101cookbooks.com. I will pass this site along to my friends. Would love to see some posts about veggie meals at restaurants in Europe/Sweden areas too, as an American, I wonder what the veggie scene is like there. Thanks

  Hi Betty, fun that you like our blog! We are very excited about it too. It is not even a month old yet and we have a lot of plans and recipes for it. Of course we can contribute with some good veggie and organic places in Sweden and Denmark. Let us think about it for a while and we’ll be back with some new posts soon.

Lindt make a chocolate you can buy around my part of the world with various additions – salt, chilli etc – I have to say I never tried it. What’s it like with the chilli? I mean – is it really noticeable or is it more of a pleasant “warm, tingling” in your throat?

Love that they don’t have dairy in them – will give these a try, although not sure where I can get coconut oil from :(
