Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate “Chips”
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted (about 1/2 cup once melted)
- optional: 1/4 cup crispy quinoa
Strawberry “Salsa”
- 1 lb strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp fine salt
Instructions
- Make the chocolate “chips.” Melt the chocolate chips in a completely dry microwave-safe bowl for 1.5 to 2 minutes, stirring until smooth. If using, add crispy quinoa to the melted chocolate and mix well to combine.
- Shape the chocolate discs. Spoon about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of the melted chocolate onto parchment paper. Use the back of the spoon to swirl the chocolate into a thin disc approximately 2 inches wide. Freeze these discs for about 15 minutes until they are set and firm. For sturdier chips, double the thickness or stack two discs together when serving.
- Prepare the strawberry salsa. Finely chop the hulled strawberries using the smallest grid on a vegetable chopper or by hand into very small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with the maple syrup and salt. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Serve and enjoy. Plate the strawberry salsa in a serving bowl alongside the chocolate chips. For an extra creamy touch, top with coconut whipped cream if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- For sturdier chocolate chips, consider doubling the amount of melted chocolate per disc or stacking multiple discs when serving.
- Using a vegetable chopper ensures uniformly small strawberry pieces for a better salsa texture, but chopping by hand works fine if done carefully.
- Crispy quinoa adds a delightful crunch to the chocolate chips but can be omitted if unavailable.
- This recipe is best served fresh, as the strawberry salsa may release juice over time.
- Coconut whipped cream offers a delicious dairy-free topping option but is optional.
