FODMAP UPDATE
Monash have recently introduced a threshold for strawberries, which is !rude! They used to be ‘eat according to appetite’ whereas now a FODMAP friendly serving is 65g. If you have previously eaten large quantities strawberries with no issues, then you don’t need to change anything. If they have given you issues, I recommend sticking to the 4-5 or 65g serving size.4 ingredient vegan chocolate covered strawberries
Gluten free, vegan, FODMAP friendly, refined sugar free
Ingredients
FOR THE 4 INGREDIENT VEGAN CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRIES:
- 50 g cacao butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 punnet of strawberries
Instructions
METHOD:
- Melt the cacao butter using the double boiler method. Once it has melted, add in the cocoa and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth, and remove from the heat.
- Dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture, and transfer to a wire rack to cool. I like to freeze my strawberries for a little while first, so that the chocolate solidifies quickly on contact. I also like to place the strawberries on a wire rack, stem side down, to allow the chocolate to harden evenly, without getting stuck to a plate. You can sprinkle something on the chocolate as it's hardening - crushed nuts or a little bit of sea salt would be ideal.
