Method
Fruit Platter:
- In separate double boilers (or carefully in the microwave), melt the almond chip and milk chocolate.
- Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
- Dip the fig quarters in milk chocolate, sprinkle with crushed walnuts and place on baking tray.
- Dip the kiwi slices in a mix of almond chip and milk chocolate, sprinkle with coconut and place on the baking tray.
- Dip the banana slices in a mix of almond chip and milk chocolate, sprinkle some with Himalayan sea salt, and place on a baking tray.
- Dip the strawberries in a mix of almond chip and milk chocolate. Sprinkle some with coconut and others with Himalayan sea salt. Place on a baking tray.
- With any remaining chocolate, dip raw cashews and place on baking tray.
- Place all baking trays in the fridge until set (will take about 15 minutes)
Chocolate Bark:
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Melt your chocolate over a double boiler.
- Once the chocolate is melted & smooth, spread over the baking paper.
- Working quickly, sprinkle on the pistachios, orange rind, pomegranate, coconut flakes and salt.
- Place in the fridge and allow to set (approx. 20 minutes)
Blueberry Chia Jam:
- In a small saucepan, combine the chia seeds, blueberries and water.
- Bring to the boil and then turn to a low simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Gently mash the mixture and set aside to cool.
- Keep in the fridge – the mixture will thicken over time. Add very small amounts of water and stir as needed.
To serve:
- Break the chocolate bark into chunky pieces.
- Arrange the chocolate bark on a platter with the chocolate covered fruit, chocolate dipped cashews and some plain cashews.
- Dollop the blueberry chia jam on top, and serve with thyme leaves and extra chocolate bark on the side.
