Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Dark chocolate
- 150 g Shredded coconut
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Add unsalted butter to the bowl with the chocolate.
Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double-boiler method) and stir until the chocolate and butter melt completely. Alternatively, you can melt them in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Add the shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture and mix until the coconut is evenly coated.
Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form rustic mounds.
Refrigerate the coconut roughs for 1 hour or until completely set.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
