If you like chocolate, and you like coconut...this is for you! I found this recipe in my Clean Eating Magazine, and had to give it a try! It was super easy to make (only 4 ingredients! Wow!), and tastes wonderful. And the health benefits from eating coconut products make it well worth it, too! It goes well with a glass of red wine, or is a nice treat for the kids. Either way...it was a hit for everyone in our family (young and old). Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut butter |
1/2 cup raw organic honey (or use a little of each to equal 1/2 cup) or 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or use a little of each to equal 1/2 cup) |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional) |
1/2 cup cacao (no sugar added) or 1/2 cup cocoa powder (no sugar added) |
Directions:
1. Using a spoon, blend the coconut butter with the honey or syrup ad mix well. (If the coconut butter is too hard, place it in an ovenproof container and set it in a 250 degree oven for a few minutes until softened).
2. Add the vanilla extract, if desired.
3. Stir in the cacao or cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour into an 8x8 inch pan and refrigerate until firm.
5. Cut into 16 pieces and keep cool (living in Vegas, I found that it will melt if left out too long).
6. NOTE: You can also use this mixture as FROSTING! Simply use it before refrigeration and it will spread easily!
