A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, for 2013.
Evidence of a lazy day at home in pyjamas and dressing gowns, snacking on homemade raw chocolate.
You can see the whole series of portraits here.
--------------------------
Raw chocolate
130 g (2/3 cup) organic coconut oil
80 g (1/4 cup) organic maple syrup (or raw honey)
60 g (1/2 cup) cacao powder
40 g (1/2 cup) organic shredded coconut
150 g (1 cup) whole organic almonds, chopped
Place coconut oil and maple syrup in a bowl and stand in warm water until melted. (Alternatively, place in a saucepan or bain marie over very low heat.) Add cacao, shredded coconut and chopped almonds and stir to combine. Pour evenly into a dish lined with baking paper, and set in the fridge for 15 minutes (or for 5 minutes in the freezer if you can't wait that long!). Slice into squares and enjoy!
