Almond Coconut Oil Chocolate

Almond Coconut Oil Chocolate Recipe

photo by recipe author

Servings: 30-36 pieces
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder or cacao powder
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
unsweetened organic shredded coconut
slivered or sliced almonds

You will need 3-4 silicone ice cube trays or petite fours papers with a mini muffin tin.

Melt coconut oil, add maple syrup, slowly add cocoa powder (I use a small strainer or sifter to get any lumps out), and stir well until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.

Place desired amounts of shredded coconut and almonds in the bottom of a silicone ice cube tray or in small petit-fours papers in a mini muffin tin. Pour the chocolate mixture into the tray or papers, filling 3/4 full.

Place in freezer for fast set up, or in refrigerator overnight. Keep in the refrigerator when not serving to maintain firmness.

Notes:

If doing Weight Watchers, and using the petite-fours papers, these have about 2 points each. They will vary in size and points if using silicone ice cube trays.

These are fantastic! Very easy to make and they setup in the freezer in about 20-30 minutes. I used a silicon mini-muffin tray and that worked very well. You pop the cups inside out and they come right out. I added a little gelatin too.

Honey does not mix well with coconut oil and while cooling they most likely will separate that is why most raw coconut recipe use another type of sweetener. However honey can be used with coconut oil in cooking.

I made these and they were delicious.  I was craving something sweet and these were easy and I had all the ingredients.  I do just spread the candy out on parchment paper in a lined dish then cut into squares.
