Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1.5 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Line a square 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt until evenly combined.
Add the shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture and stir to coat all the coconut evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Press down gently to compact the mixture.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut into 16 squares or chunks using a sharp knife.
Store the chocolate coconut chunks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
