Fruit and Nut Chocolate Recipe

I usually make this chocolate when I want something special. It does not require any sophisticated equipment. I choose my favorite nuts and fruits, chop them and mix them with the melted chocolate. It’s a simple process, but there’s something very satisfying about it. This fruit and nut chocolate is perfect to share with family, to give to friends or simply to keep a small quantity in the refrigerator for sweet cravings.

About chocolate with fruit and nuts

Chocolate with fruit and nuts is one of those treats that is never boring. I love how it packs so many textures and flavors into one bite. Smooth dark chocolate, crunchy nuts and chewy dried fruits provide little bursts of sweetness and acidity. Each piece is slightly different, and that’s what makes it so enjoyable.

I used my favorite dried fruits like apricots, cranberries, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, melon seeds, almonds and raisins. The chocolate I used is dark and it is decorated with fruits and nuts. I also added grated orange zest which adds a touch of fresh taste without being too overwhelming.

2) Take your chocolate mold. I used my large Dubai chocolate mold. Add nuts and dried fruits according to the pattern of your choice.

3) Take the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Add the coconut oil and put it in the microwave. Melt it on high heat for 10 seconds intervals. Remove every 10 seconds and stir so the chocolate melts evenly.

It will take about 30-40 seconds for the chocolate to be completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt them in a bain-marie.

4) Remove from the microwave and mix well so the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the orange zest and mix well.

5)The chocolate is now ready to be poured over the dried fruits.

6)Now pour it over dry fruits and nuts.

7) Pat gently to distribute evenly. Place it in the refrigerator or freezer for 1 hour.

8)Now the chocolate is set.

9) Unmold and break the peels. Enjoy it as is or wrap it up and give it as a gift.
