Method
- Heat a large frying pan to medium high. Mix the seeds and cocoa nibs and add half to the pan. Toast for about a minute, tilting the pan a few times to move the seeds around, but be careful not not to let them burn. Do the same with the remianing seed mix and set aside to cool.
- Add the seed mixture, icing sugar and cocoa powder to a food processor and pulse until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water or in 30 second bursts in a microwave. Add to the food processor along with the vanilla. Pulse until combined.
- Continuing to mix, gradually add the oil. Keep in a jar with a tight fitting lid in a cool place. It will last for 5 days.
