Instructions

1 Before starting: Soak the cashews for at least two hours to soften, or boil 15
minutes.

Once softened, drain the cashews and place them in a high speed blender.
2 Zest both oranges and add the zest to the blender, careful to drop the bits down
the middle to keep from sticking to the sides of the blender. If that happens,
use a spatula to scoot it to the bottom.
3 Use a citrus reamer to juice the oranges, using the juice and pulp to make one
cup. Pour into the blender.
4 Add the dates, vanilla, cacao powder and nibs/chocolate chips, chia seeds, and
salt to the blender. Blend on high using the tamper, until smooth.
5 Use a spatula to transfer the chocolate ganache into a bowl.

Place your candy mold onto a baking tray that will fit in your freezer. If using
cookie cutters instead, line the tray with parchment.

Spoon the chocolate into each mold to fill. Once all are filled, use a bench
scraper or spatula to smooth the top.
6 Place the tray into the freezer and chill for at least three hours, until the
semifreddo is firm and pops out of the mold easily.
7 To serve, place the semifreddo onto each serving plate. Once thawed a bit (15-20
minutes or so), these do not transfer well, so they're best served directly on
the plate. If desired, add toppings.
8 Serve immediately. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge (the
hearts may soften too much to hold their shape but will be like chocolate
mousse).

If storing in the freezer, return any unused portions immediately to the freezer
before thawed and keep in a freezer-safe sealed container.
