Supplies needed: Blender, saucepan, mini muffin silicon moulds or small patty pans.

Ingredients:

Base:

  • 3 Ryvitas (original)
  • 2 teaspoons Maple Syrup (12 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil (10 grams)
  • 4 teaspoons water (or more if too dry)

Centre:

  • 4 Tablespoons Light Ricotta Cheese (40 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup (20 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Almond milk (20 grams) (or milk of choice, calories calculated with almond milk though)
  • 2 teaspoons Cacao (10 grams)

Top:

  • 4 squares 70% dark chocolate or higher (25 grams) (I used Old Gold)

Method:

  • Blend Ryvitas in blender until powder.
  • Place in bowl with maple syrup, coconut oil and water and mix until combined. It will still be a bit crumbly but don’t worry it should set in the freezer. Add a little more water if still too dry.
  • Place spoonfuls of mixture into mini muffin moulds and press down with spoon or fingers.
  • Place in the freezer to set. A couple of hours is good- taking them out too soon and they’ll still be crumbly.
  • Meanwhile, place all centre ingredients (cacao, ricotta cheese, maple syrup and almond milk) into saucepan and cook on low heat until smooth (this won’t take long).
  • Remove from heat and place in fridge to cool for a while, it should harden slightly too.
  • Remove base from freezer and spoon centre mixture onto base and again place in freezer to harden.
  • After an hour or so melt the dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave at 30 second intervals until smooth and melted after mixing with metal spoon.
  • Place dollops on top of the pods and slightly spread it over the pods. I find a nice thick dollop in the centre is most like the real thing instead of a thin coating over the whole pod but it’s up to you.
  • Place in freezer to set. Store in airtight container in the freezer or fridge. I find them at their best if stored in the freezer then taken out to defrost for a few minutes. This softens the base and centre slightly but leaves the top nice and hard.

Enjoy!
