Ingredients
  

  • 400 g creamed coconut (2 x 200g bars)
  • 100 ml coconut oil (melted
  • 50 ml honey
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 300 g dessicated coconut
  • 150 g dark chocolate (100% cacao)

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking tin (xx x xx) with baking parchment.
  • Melt the blocks of coconut cream (still in their packets) in a bowl of hot water until they become liquid.
  • Melt the coconut oil.
  • In a bowl, add the coconut cream, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract and salt.
  • Stir through the dessicated coconut.
  • Pour the mixture into the pre-lined tin and flatten with the back of the spoon so it is an even thickness.
  • Place in the fridge or freezer to chill for 15 mins.
  • Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie over a low heat.
  • Once the chocolate has melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let it stand for about 10 minutes so the chocolate can thicken.
  • Remove the coconut block from the fridge/freezer and cut into bars.
  • Dip the bars into the melted chocolate so that they are completely covered.
  • Place on a baking parchment-lined baking tray and return to the fridge/freezer to set.
  • Allow to defrost slightly for a few minutes before serving.
