Yum, another coconutty treat. :D The original name for this recipe is raw bounty squares, but since we don't even get those around here, the name says nothing to me about what it is . . . so the re-name.
Coconut base
2 cups desiccated coconut, unsweetened
165ml coconut milk (2/3 cup + 1 tsp)
3 tbs melted coconut oil
3 tbs coconut blossom sugar
1 tbs cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and mix with a fork until well combined
- pour mixture into a glass dish lined with wax paper - press the mixture down firmly
- place in freezer for an hour to set
Chocolate topping
5 tbs coconut oil
3 tbs cocoa powder
1 tbs coconut blossom sugar
- combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir while melting over a pot with hot water
- pour over coconut mixture and place in fridge for 10 mins to set
I decided to put everything in a pot and melt it directly on the stove, except the coconut blossom sugar didn't melt at all, so I added a few squirts of honey but that didn't mix into the coconut-chocolate mixture, so finally I took it off stove and sieved the mixture into a bowl to get rid of the unmelted sugar and globs of honey - I pressed it through the sieve with a spoon and most of the honey went throught but it wouldn't blend in nicely with the chocolate mixture, BUT oh well, I poured it over anyway and it's good. Maybe I should read properly and follow the recipe next time, I think the coconut sugar burned, since it does burn easily. Ish. Of course the honey makes it non-vegan, so keep that in mind if you want to keep this recipe vegan.
These should be kept refrigerated.
They are really tasty though, a keeper for sure. :)
