• 50g icing sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 30g pistachio kernels (chopped)
• 30g cranberries (chopped)

Method: 

1. Melt cacao butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl isn’t touching the water and stirring constantly.
2. When cacao butter is melted add icing sugar and stir until dissolved.
