From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped raw pistachios
  • 1 tsp green nori flakes
  • 0.5 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 6 oz dark (70% cacao) chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the pistachios, nori flakes, lemon zest, and salt.
  3. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Make a double boiler by filling a pot with 3 inches of water. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Set the bowl of chocolate on top of the pot, but not touching the water, and gently melt the chocolate, stirring often. Once melted completely, carefully remove the bowl from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Using a spoon, drop about a quarter-sized amount of chocolate onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with some of the nori mixture. Repeat to make about 20 rounds. Chill the baking sheet in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
