Today, we bring you the bar recipe from @drabeatiful. 4 ingredients were enough to achieve this contrast of flavours between the chocolate and the cream. And the probiotic properties of kombucha put the finishing touch to this preparation that you are sure to love!

Ingredients

(For 8 sticks)

• 1 cup skinless natural almonds
• ¼ cup kombucha
• 1 tablespoon of our cinnamon and orange cocoa
• Dark chocolate 100 % in the quantity needed to cover the bottom and top layer (to be chosen according to the desired thickness, in the recipe shown in the photo about 60 g)

Step by step

1. Soak the almonds for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
2. Pour off the water and grind the almonds together with the kombucha tea and cocoa. The result should be a paste.
3. Leave the mixture for 24 hours in a glass jar covered with a cloth.
4. In a yoghurt maker or taking advantage of the residual heat of the oven, if you don't have one, we obtain a fermented cream that we pass through the mixer again.
5. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and fill the bottom of the mould. Then put it in the freezer.
6. Then cover the same mould with the fermented almond and cocoa cream.
7. Add a layer of melted chocolate on top and put it in the freezer for about half an hour, until it reaches the desired consistency.
8. Keep in the fridge and enjoy!

How to use the leftovers from making almond drink? @drabeatiful brings us this delicious biscuit recipeIt has an incredible taste and a way of not throwing anything away. Would you like to try it?

Ingredients

• Bagasse of vegetable drink with 100 g of almonds.
• 1 tablespoon of white almond cream. Do not use roasted almonds: white almonds are neutral and give a flavour similar to white chocolate when mixed with vanilla and sweetener.
• 1 tablespoon of vegan vanilla protein
• 1 tablespoon of ground erythritol
• 30 g unsalted butter at room temperature
• Chocolate 100 %
• A pinch of salt

Step by step

1. Melt the butter with the erythritol and the almond cream and stir until everything is well integrated.
2. Then mix in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients (except the chocolate).
3. Knead the dough with your hands until it is manageable and form the cookies.
4. Finally, we insert pieces of our 100 % chocolate and freeze for about three hours.
5. Keep in the fridge and ready to enjoy!

No oven and easy. Also, if you don't usually make vegetable drinks at home, you can always use almond flour and increase the liquid ingredients. And, if you don't like using protein, use more flour and vanilla essence.
