Description

Decadent chocolate bars with a burst of raspberry and coconut. Perfect for a sweet treat any time.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cups (237 ml) shredded coconut
  • 1 cups (125 g) fresh raspberries
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) coconut oil
  • 0.5 cups (59 ml) raw cacao powder
  • 2-3 tbsp pure maple syrup or rice malt syrup
  • 0.25-0.5 tsp organic liquid stevia

Instructions

  1. Lightly toast the shredded coconut in a small fry pan on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  2. To make the chocolate mixture, melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat, add the sweetener, whisking briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well combined.
  3. Roughly chop the raspberries and place them with the shredded coconut into the saucepan; stir into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into a lined square baking tin (or spread evenly on a lined baking tray) and place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to set.
  5. Slice into desired pieces and serve.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of cacao powder, adjusting sweetener as needed.
  • If raspberries are frozen, thaw them completely before adding to the mixture to prevent a watery consistency.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week for optimal freshness.
