Half-Covered Fresh Coconut Strips In Dark Chocolate
A delicious plant-based snack that helps you skip processed foods and adds a touch of joy to any tea-time gathering or when sharing with friends.
Ingredients
- 80-100 g hard coconut flesh (from brown coconut)
- 35 g dark chocolate (75%-90%), I use 90% Lindt chocolate
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp maca powder (to mix with the chocolate), (optional)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (to sprinkle on top), (optional)
Instructions
- Chop your coconut into medium-thin strips (about 3-4 cm length).
- Line a tray with baking (wax) paper. Arrange your fresh coconut strips flat.
- Melt the dark chocolate gently in a bain-marie or microwave. Once melted, remove from the heat and keep stirring. Optional : let it cool slightly for 1 minute, then stir in 1 tsp of Maca powder. Stir again with a metal spoon until smooth and well combined.
- Using the same spoon, drizzle or dip to cover half of each coconut slice with chocolate. Place back on the baking paper.
- Sprinkle immediately with Himalayan salt (and any extra chia or hemp seeds).
- Place in the fridge for 30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Serve straight from the fridge, or store in an airtight container (or freeze it).
