Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa content)
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 100g roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or date syrup
- Sea salt flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and roughly chop the pistachios if not already chopped. Chop the chocolate into even pieces for smooth and consistent melting.
- Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, gently melt the chocolate, stirring frequently to maintain a silky texture and prevent it from burning.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the cardamom powder and honey or date syrup until fully incorporated, ensuring the spice and sweetness are balanced perfectly.
- Incorporate Nuts and Salt: Mix in most of the roasted pistachios, reserving some to sprinkle on top. Then gently fold the sea salt flakes into the mixture to enhance and balance the flavors.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the chocolate mixture into a lined mold or tray, evenly spread the reserved pistachios on top, then refrigerate for at least two hours until fully set.
Notes
- Use quality chocolate and nuts for the best indulgent flavor.
- Melt the chocolate gently to avoid grainy texture and maintain glossiness.
- Lightly toast pistachios to bring out their natural oils and deeper flavor notes.
- Adjust the amount of honey or syrup gradually to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Store finished chocolate bars in a cool, dark place to keep their freshness and texture intact.
