It's Chocolate Monday! RASPBERRY RIPPLE/CHOCOLATE, BANANA AND HAZELNUT GALETTE 🌞

RASPBERRY RIPPLE



This is one of Sarah Wilson’s most popular recipes in her first book | Quit Sugar,
and also on the | Quit Sugar website.

SERVES 6 40 minutes

1/3 cup (50 g) frozen raspberries
1/3 cup (30 g) shredded coconut
1/3 cup (70 g) coconut oil
5 1/2 tablespoons (80 g) salted butter
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons rice mait syrup

PREPARE

1. Line a dinner plate or baking tray with baking paper (a dinner plate is
ideal as the slight indent creates a good shape). Scatter the berries and
coconut on the plate or tray.
2, Melt the oil and butter together in a saucepan on low heat or in the
microwave (the oil takes a little longer to melt, so add the butter a little
after), then whisk in the cacao and the rice malt syrup.
3. Pour the chocolate mixture over the berries, then pop into the freezer to
set for 30 minutes. To serve, either break into shards or cut into wedges
