Ingredients
- 250 g block plain dark chocolate, broken into squares or roughly chopped
- 60 g coconut oil, solid or melted
- 3 1/4 cups desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- Prepare a double boiler by placing a heat-proof mixing bowl over a small/medium-sized pot of simmering water.
- Add broken-up chocolate and coconut oil to the mixing bowl and gently melt over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Pour in half of the desiccated coconut and mix until well combined. Add the remaining coconut and mix until completely coated in the chocolate.
- Using a one tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop up the mixture and place it on the lined tray to create individual domed rounds. Repeat process.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes - 1 hour or until solid.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Slowly melt the chocolate and coconut oil together on low heat to avoid the chocolate burning.
- Add the desiccated coconut in two batches to make it easier to mix through the chocolate.
- Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to easily scoop out and then tip out onto the tray, creating perfectly domed rounds.
- Store in a sealed container, refrigerated, for 1 week - 10 days.
- Freeze in a freezer-friendly sealed container, with a layer of parchment paper between layers to avoid them sticking to each other. Or in zip-lock bags and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Thaw from frozen in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.
