Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and whether you love it or hate it, it’s a nice reminder to show love to your loved ones and indulge in a little chocolate. This recipe is perfect if you’re looking for a sweet treat that is simple to make and equally as delicious. These hearts can be made year around and a great treat to store in the freezer when you’re craving a small dessert.

If you want heart shapes, you’ll need heart silicon molds (I bought mine from Michaels) but if you don’t care for them to be heart shaped, any silicon mold will do. Feel free to buy bigger molds and make these chocolates bigger as well.

Ingredient Notes

Chocolate chips – If you want these to be vegan, make sure you buy vegan chocolate chips. I love the brand Enjoy Life and I used their dark chocolate chips.

Cashew butter – I like to use homemade cashew butter but you can also buy cashew butter at the store.

Dragonfruit powder – You don’t have to use this if you don’t want the middle pink but this is necessary to get it that pink color. I buy my powder from Nuts.com.

Instructions

1. Melt chocolate chips. You can either do this in the microwave or in a double boiler. If you do it in the microwave, make sure to melt the chocolate chips in 30 second increments so you don’t burn the chocolate.
2. Make the filling. Mix cashew butter, maple syrup and dragonfruit powder in a small bowl until combined.
3. Pour half of the melted chocolate into the 12 molds and spread it out to cover the bottom and sides.
4. Add cashew filling to the molds.
5. Pour the remaining chocolate over the top of the filling.
6. Chill in freezer until set and enjoy!

Notes

You may have leftover filling. You can melt more chocolate and make more hearts if this is the case or eat it as is 🙂

Storing Instructions

Store hearts in an air tight container in the freezer.
