Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Coconut oil
- 1/3 cup Cacao powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or pistachios)
- 1/8 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line a small baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat once fully melted.
Whisk in the cacao powder, maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture evenly onto the prepared parchment-lined tray, spreading it into a thin layer using a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped nuts evenly across the surface.
Place the tray in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, or until the bark is fully set and firm.
Remove the tray from the freezer and break the bark into pieces of desired size using your hands or a knife.
Store the Coconut Cacao Bark in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
