&Company :: Cherry Chocolate Squares

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the next recipe from &Company and they did not disappoint! This gorgeous and healthy dessert would be such a fun addition to an evening with someone you love.

Cherry Chocolate Squares

Ingredients ::

1 cup coconut oil
1 cup coca powder
1 tbsp agave nectar (if the chocolate isn’t sweet enough, you can add more agave)
8 oz. frozen black cherries (defrost them in the refrigerator before using)
½ tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup plain goat cheese
2 tbsp crushed pecans
chia seeds (optional)

Directions ::

Melt coconut oil.
Mix in cocoa powder & agave till there are no lumps in the chocolate.
Pour into a parchment paper lined 9x13 (for thinner chocolate) or 9x9 (for thicker chocolate), cover & place in freezer for 45-60 minutes.
Next, blend cherries, goat cheese & vanilla extract to make your sauce. (If you want a thicker sauce you can place this in the freezer to thicken, or add some chia seeds & place in the refrigerator for about an hour.)
Once the chocolate is frozen & the sauce is at your desired consistency, break off a piece of the chocolate, spoon some cherry sauce on top & sprinkle on as many crushed pecans as your heart desires!
