Description

A delightful no-bake summer candy combining rich dark chocolate with the nutty flavors of black sesame seeds and the tropical sweetness of shredded coconut. This easy-to-make treat requires minimal ingredients and preparation time, perfect for cooling off with a homemade sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup black sesame seeds
  • Pinch of sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Coconut Oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
  2. Add Flavorings and Sweetener: Stir vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup (if using) into the melted chocolate mixture. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  3. Prepare the Sesame-Coconut Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded coconut and black sesame seeds, mixing them evenly to create the topping.
  4. Spread Chocolate Layer: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto the sheet and carefully spread it into a thin, even layer using a spatula.
  5. Add Topping: Evenly sprinkle the coconut and sesame seed mixture over the melted chocolate layer.
  6. Press Topping and Add Salt: Gently press the coconut and sesame mixture into the chocolate so it adheres well, then sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance flavor contrast.
  7. Chill Until Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate candy is fully hardened.
  8. Break into Pieces and Serve: Once set, break the chocolate into bite-sized pieces or cut into squares. Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • Ensure the chocolate is spread evenly and thinly for quicker setting and better texture.
  • The pinch of sea salt elevates the flavor, but it can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
