White chocolate dipped clementines with cardamom and pistachios; a bit of goodness dipped in something a little naughty!
Ingredients
  • 75g organic white chocolate bar or buttons (I like Montezumas)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom
  • 3 clementines, peeled, and as much pith as possible removed.
  • 20g pistachio nuts, finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Melt the chocolate along with the coconut oil in a bain marie, stir through the cardamom.
  2. When the chocolate has melted pour it into a small deep glass, it will be easier to dip the clementines in a smaller glass than in the large bain marie bowl.
  3. Dip in half of a clementine segment into the white chocolate, pull it out and allow the excess to drip off. Place on a parchment lined sheet or tray, when all segments are done move to the fridge to allow the chocolate to set for around 10 minutes. Place the white chocolate back in the bain marie to keep warm (don't allow to over heat).
  4. After 10 minutes remove the clementines from the fridge, put the white chocolate back in the glass and dip the SAME end of the clementine in to repeat the process. Place back on the tray and sprinkle with pistachios. When all are done place back in the fridge to set for a final 30 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a tub with a lid and eat within a couple of days.
Notes
When you take the clementines off the sheet after the first fridge set you may find some chocolate sticks to the plate and none to the underside of the clementine. You can scrape off and re-melt the chocolate, and don't worry about the naked underside - its impossible to get them entirely enrobed if you let them sit on a plate.
