Instructions:
1. Prepare Zen Basil Seeds:
In a small bowl, mix the Zen Basil Seeds with water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
Once they have absorbed the water and expanded, mix them with the yogurt until well combined.
2. Assemble the Rice Cakes:
Place the caramel rice cakes on a serving plate or tray.
Spread a layer of the Zen Basil Seeds and yogurt mixture evenly over each rice cake.
3. Add Nut Butter:
Spoon nut butter over the yogurt layer on each rice cake, spreading it evenly.
4. Add Almonds:
Place almond halves or nuts of your choice on top of the nut butter layer.
5. Prepare Chocolate Layer:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
6. Layer Chocolate:
Carefully drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the almond layer on each rice cake, covering it completely.
7. Add Toppings:
Sprinkle coconut flakes or sea salt over the melted chocolate layer for added flavor and decoration.
8. Chill and Serve:
Place the assembled rice cakes in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, serve and enjoy your delicious and nutritious treats!
These caramel rice cakes with Zen Basil Seeds, yogurt, nut butter, almonds, and dark chocolate make for a satisfying snack or dessert. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days in an airtight container. Enjoy!
