We’re thrilled to be able to present our latest recipe development today. Our Raw Vegan Nut Corners are amazingly uncomplicated to prepare and can be stored very well in the refrigerator. Thus they serve as a perfect snack for in between meals and save you from scrambling with a surprise announcement of guests.

The finesse of this recipe lies in the fact that the chocolate glaze provides the necessary stability to hold the corners together, they don’t taste too greasy and the crunch effect of the nuts is preserved. Our glaze was prepared with cocoa liquor.

Do you know the benefits of cocoa liquor?

For the production of cocoa liquor, cocoa beans are ground and gently heated at a very low temperature (42° C/107° F) until a paste is formed.

Cocoa liquor has a full-bodied, strong flavor, melts at about 37° C and is the perfect base for making high-quality chocolates and pralines.

Alternatively, raw chocolate can also be made with cocoa butter/coconut oil and cocoa powder. For this, see the following recipes:

• Carob Bars
• Raw Chocolate Chips
• Chocolate Brownies
