RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Chocolate Pistachio Kiwi Rice Cakes

• 3 plain rice cakes
• 100 grams 70% dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
• 6 tablespoons roasted pistachios
• 4 to 6 tablespoons pistachio butter
• 3 kiwis, peeled
• 3 tablespoons pomegranate arils

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Melt the chocolate

1. Add the dark chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave in short 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and glossy.

» Chop the pistachios

1. Finely chop the roasted pistachios and set aside.

» Prepare the chocolate base

1. Line a tray with parchment paper. Spread the melted chocolate onto the parchment in three circles, each slightly larger than the size of a rice cake.
2. Sprinkle the chopped roasted pistachios evenly over each chocolate circle.
3. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on one side of each rice cake.
4. Place each rice cake chocolate-side down onto the pistachio-covered chocolate circles. Press gently so they stick well. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.

» Prepare the fruit

1. While the rice cakes are chilling, peel the kiwis and slice them into half-moons.

» Assemble Chocolate Pistachio Kiwi Rice Cakes

1. Remove the rice cakes from the refrigerator and place plain white sides face up.
2. Spread the pistachio butter evenly over the tops.
3. Arrange the kiwi slices in a flower shape on each rice cake.
4. Place pomegranate arils in the center of each kiwi flower.

» Serve

1. Serve immediately for the best crunch, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

RECIPE NOTES

1. You can melt the chocolate in a microwave, or in a double boiler. Just remember to melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent burning.
2. Make sure the chocolate layer is completely firm before adding the pistachio butter.
3. After adding fruits, don't store them for more than 7-8 hours, or they will lose their crunch and freshness.
