Ingredients
1 cup cooked quinoa
100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the warm cooked quinoa. Pour in the melted dark chocolate and honey. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the quinoa is evenly coated with the mixture.
Serve: You can serve the dark chocolate quinoa warm immediately or allow it to cool down and chill it in the refrigerator before serving for a refreshing dessert.
Notes
Use freshly cooked quinoa that is still warm to help the chocolate melt and incorporate smoothly.
Adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred sweetness level.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
