CBD infused Walnut Chocolates

This chocolate’s gonna make you chill

I usually take a few drops of 5% CBD oil every night before going to bed and though to myself - why not put it in a dessert? The CBD taste is only subtle, depending on how much you are keen to drop into the filling. I say: go for it!

Servings: 12 chocolates

Total time: 40 min plus cooling time 

FOR THE chocolates

Ingredients

1 cup dates, pitted and soaked in warm water for 10 minutes

1 cup walnuts plus a few walnuts to top

1 tbsp tahini or another seed or nut butter

pinch of salt

2 tsp hemp protein powder, ground oats or ground walnuts

3 - 4 ml CBD oil (I used the 5% one by Laia’s*)

For the Chocolate COating

60g dark chocolate (I used 85%)

1 tsp coconut oil

* their CBD is produced locally and made from European hemp. This product is a full spectrum hemp aroma that does not only contain CBD but also other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven 180°C and place the walnuts on a baking tray. Roast them for about 10 minutes or until crunchy and golden brown.

2. In a food processor, add the dates, roasted walnuts, tahini, salt, hemp powder and CBD oil and blend until all is combined. (The texture can remain slightly chunky.)

3. To portion the chocolate, either evenly spread the filling onto a with baking paper lines square cake tin or use silicone bar moulds (the filling will make about 4 bars). Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, the cut into small squares (one bar makes 3 squares).

4. Heat some water in a pot and place a metal bowl over it. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in the bowl and melt.

5. With a fork, dip each square into the melted chocolate, then place back on a tray lined with baking paper, top with a roasted walnut and freeze for another hour. Enjoy!
