INGREDIENTS
50 grams desiccated coconut
45 grams coconut flour
100 ml coconut oil
125 ml coconut cream
100 ml maple syrup
5 ml vanilla essence
45 grams cacao powder
STEP 1
Place the desiccated coconut and coconut flour into your blender and blend on medium to high speed until the desiccated coconut has become finer.
STEP 2
Melt down 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and add it into the blender along with the coconut cream, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla essence and a pinch of salt. Continue to blend through these ingredients. Taste the mixture and and ensure it is sweet enough for you and that the desiccated coconut is fine enough for your liking.
STEP 3
Lay down some baking paper on a plate. Using a tablespoon of the mixture at a time, gently roll into flat oval shapes, being sure to squeeze the mixture together so that your bars don't fall apart later. Place into your freezer whilst you prepare the chocolate!
STEP 4
Melt the other 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, and in a little bowl, combine this with the cacao powder and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Mix together well until all is combined. Once the coconut bites have set in the freezer, place them in the chocolate mixture one at a time. Lift out with a fork and then place back onto the baking paper. Continue this with all of them. If your chocolate mixture hardens due to the cold coconut bites, place the little bowl in some warm water and it will remelt.
STEP 5
Place the plate back into the freezer, or if they have begun to harden already, in the fridge! These are best straight from the fridge once the chocolate has hardened, but can be stored in the freezer. We suggest that you let them thaw a little before eating.
