It’s February, the month of love and chocolate! You’ve probably heard that dark chocolate is a health superstar, and here’s why, according to Ayurveda.
Ayurveda teaches that to stay in balance, we need all six tastes:
sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent. But bitter is a
flavor severely lacking in the standard American diet. We can get an
occasional dose of that bitter taste from dark coffee, IPAs, and greens
(dandelion greens and broccoli rabe are great examples of bitter). And
we also get it from dark, bitter chocolate.
Bitter is Better
A small quantity of bitter goes a long way. Next time you’re cruising down the buffet line at Kripalu, give the wilted greens a try. Your body will thank you.
Over time, as you incorporate more bitter tastes into your diet, this
flavor will start to taste almost sweet. I know, it sounds bananas, but
it’s true. Ayurvedic doctor Robert E. Svoboda teaches that bitter and sweet are opposite sides of the same coin.
-Place walnuts and pitted dates into the bowl of a food processor
equipped with the S-blade. Whirl until the walnuts and dates become a
homogenous clump. The texture will be similar to playdough.
-Add the cocoa powder, coconut, lime zest, and salt, and process until all the ingredients are integrated.
-Carefully remove the blade from the food processor bowl. Place parchment paper on a plate or baking sheet. Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and store them on the parchment paper.
If desired, roll the truffles in the coconut/cocoa powder concoction. In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut and cocoa powder with a pinch of salt. Roll the truffles in this mixture until evenly coated. Refrigerate.
-Craft a double boiler: Bring a medium-sized saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Place the dark chocolate chunks in a smaller saucepan that can comfortably fit on top of the medium pot.
-Allow the chocolate to slowly melt, stirring with a metal teaspoon. Melting the chocolate in this manner allows it to melt gently, without scorching. It’s a tempering shortcut that yields a shiny, crisp chocolate.
-Once the chocolate is melted, use the teaspoon to roll your truffle nuggets in the chocolate one at a time, until thoroughly coated. You may need to tip the pot towards you so the chocolate pools and you can submerge the truffle. Return coated truffles to the parchment paper.
-If you wish, add a sprinkling of lime zest, coconut, and/or pink salt before the chocolate shell hardens.
-Refrigerate until about a half hour before serving.
