Ingredients

Chocolate Quinoa Crisps Ingredients

  • 140 g Puffed Quinoa
  • 200 g Dark Chocolate
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the quinoa: Place the puffed quinoa in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Stir frequently for several minutes until the quinoa becomes dried out and crispy, being careful not to let it burn. This step ensures maximum crunchiness.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Finely chop the dark chocolate. Place two-thirds of the chocolate into a microwave-safe plastic bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until fully melted.
  3. Temper the chocolate: Add the remaining third of the chopped chocolate to the melted chocolate and stir vigorously until smooth. If any small lumps remain, remove them to ensure a silky texture.
  4. Combine quinoa and chocolate: Pour the toasted quinoa into the melted chocolate along with the sea salt. Mix thoroughly until the quinoa is completely coated with chocolate.
  5. Form the crisps: Using a teaspoon, scoop dollops of the chocolate-quinoa mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each dollop into a thin disk using the back of the spoon.
  6. Set the crisps: Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the crisps are fully set and firm.

Notes

  • If your puffed quinoa is already crunchy, you may skip the toasting step.
  • Microwave the chocolate in short bursts and stir well to prevent burning.
  • Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Store the crisps in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These crisps can be customized by adding nuts or dried fruit if desired.
