Coconut & Cherry Chocolates

 

Since these chocolates went down a storm at our Fasts Track to Fabulous Evenings, I decided to share the recipe with you, so, you too can make these healthy delicious treats. However, I cannot take all the glory as it was my  dear friend Belinda Blake, who introduced them to me. Thank you Belinda :) 

To Make 26 Truffles ..... 

Ingredients

100g creamed coconut

75g desiccated coconut

3tbs coconut oil

3tbs sour cherry juice concentrate

1 ½ tbs coconut nectar or sweet freedom

1tsp vanilla extract

Pinch salt

 

100g dark chocolate

 

Method

Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan  then add the creamed coconut and allow to melt in the warm. Pour into a bowl.  Then add the desiccated coconut, Sweet Freedom, cherry juice, vanilla extract and salt – mix with a folk.

 

Cover the bowl and put into the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up.

 

Scoop out teaspoons of the mixture and roll into little balls.  Place these onto a baking tray. Cover the tray again and place in the freezer for at least

20-30 minutes to firm up again.

 

In the meantime…

Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of barely-simmering water.

Remove the tray from the freezer, then dip each coconut ball in the melted chocolate to coat, then replace on the baking tray (the cold tray will help set the chocolate quickly).

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge or the freezer. Ideally allow to come just up to room temperature before enjoying!
