remove seeds | The Secret Life of Ness

Long title… But I can’t possibly miss out describing any part of this beautiful dessert.

Before we make it, I want to share a secret with you;

HOW TO REMOVE THE EDIBLE SEEDS FROM POMEGRANATE!

Take the whole fruit, and on a hard, flat surface like your kitchen bench, roll the whole fruit.
You need to be a bit rough with it, roll it really hard, pressing down as you roll.
Make sure you get the whole surface of the fruit a few times.
Cut with a knife through the skin just a few millimetres and twist it apart.
Turn each half inside out over a bowl and just scrape out the seeds with your fingers.
Easy!!!!

Now the recipe;

60g coconut/macadamia/olive oil
50g gluten free self raising flour
50g pomegranate seeds
50g Cacao Tree Milk Chocolate , chopped
30g coconut sugar
30g stevia (I used natvia icing mix)
35g cacao powder
5g vanilla bean paste
2 eggs
1 tsp flaked/ground pink rock salt

Mix all except 1/2 the salt and the pomegranate in a bowl.

Pour batter into a lined baking dish, sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top and bake at 160 degrees to liking. Mine were a bit over done, I like them gooey not cakey. 10-30 mins.

Sprinkle the remaining salt on top.

Allow to cool completely before taking out and slicing into 16 squares.
