Raw vegan bounty

Beyond healthy and refined sugar free

So excited to share with you one of my all time favourite desserts. As you may know, I love to ensure that every bite I take is full of nutrients and is perfectly nourishing, so  these chocolate covered coconut bites are not an exception. Rich in vital minerals and vitamins, they will make you happy inside-out.

Ingredients:

for the binding caramel:

1 cup dates (soaked overnight)
juice of 1/2 lemon or 1 lime
(optional - 1/2 cup coconut cream)
pinch of Himalayan salt

a pinch of vanilla bean powder
1/2 cup water


for the base:
2 cups shredded coconut


for the raw chocolate icing:

1/2 cup shredded cacao butter
1 tsp coconut oil
1 TBS coconut blossom sugar
2 TBS raw cacao powder
a pinch of vanilla bean powder


Instructions:


Blend all the caramel ingredients in a high speed blender until perfectly smooth - consistency should be firm yet still liquid enough. Mix in the coconut - for the texture test you should be able to form a ball that does not fall apart because of excess liquid or crumble because of too much coconut. Fill the moulds of your desire with the mixture (you can also form bite sized balls). Put into freezer for 1 hr or until solid.


Meanwhile start preparing the raw chocolate icing by gently melting the cacao butter, coconut oil and coconut blossom sugar using a water bath. Keep stirring until the ingredients have melted. Start slowly adding the dry ingredients - cacao powder and vanilla bean powder while stirring continuously. Pour over the refrigerated coconut bites.


Enjoy!
Much love,
