How to Make Chocolate Coconut Clusters

A full and detailed recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

Melt Chocolate and Coconut Oil: In a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring occasionally until smooth.

Pour and Set: Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared loaf pan, evenly spreading it. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to cool and thicken slightly.

Prepare Coconut Mixture: Mix melted coconut oil and sugar in a small bowl. Add the toasted coconut flakes and stir until well coated.

Add to Base: Sprinkle the coconut mixture evenly over the set chocolate base. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.

Chill: Return the pan to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until completely set.

Slice and Enjoy: Once set, remove from the pan and let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing into pieces. Enjoy!

Expert Tips

  • Chocolate Selection: Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Coconut Oil: Do not replace with another oil as coconut oil ensures a smooth chocolate base and helps bind the coconut topping.
  • Chill Time: Allow enough time for the clusters to fully set to make slicing easier.

Can I substitute the dark chocolate with another type of chocolate?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste. Keep in mind, this will change the flavor profile of the clusters.

What can I use if I don’t have a double boiler to melt the chocolate?

If you don’t have a double boiler, you can carefully melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a microwave. Heat in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between, until smooth.

How can I prevent the coconut topping from falling off after cutting?

Ensure the chocolate base is only slightly set and not fully hard when adding the toasted coconut topping. This helps the coconut adhere better to the chocolate. Pressing the coconut mixture gently into the chocolate before returning it to the refrigerator will also help it to set completely.
