Maple Syrup – you can use honey or rice malt syrup instead of maple syrup. Just make sure that you whisk your chosen sweetener really well with the coconut oil. You don’t want them to separate from each other.

Coconut oil – you can use any type of coconut oil. You will need to warm it slightly before adding your sweetener.

Coconut flakes – you can also use shredded coconut if you don’t have coconut flakes on hand.

HOW TO MAKE

STEP 1. Make the raw chocolate. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on low heat, making sure it is completely liquid. Then whisk in the maple syrup and make sure they are combined really well. Then add the cacao powder and stir until is well combined.

Step 2: Prep the raspberries and coconut flakes. Roughly chop the raspberries and place with the coconut flakes on the bottom of silicon bread loaf tin or a regular bread loaf tin lined with baking paper. If you are using frozen raspberries, you may need to let them thaw slightly before chopping.

Step 3: Pour the chocolate on top. Pour the raw chocolate over the raspberries and coconut flakes and add the extra coconut flakes and raspberries on top. The place into the freezer to set for 1 hour. When ready, slice into bars and serve.

  1. I tried this recipe and it didnโ€™t work for me – I did substitute sugar free maple syrup (Iโ€™m on keto) and while I was able to blend the coconut oil and sugar free maple syrup it took a bit of time. Once the cocao powder was added things went south quickly as the mix separated into a chocolate mass in the bottom of the pan and a thinner straw coloured fluid floating to the top. I was able to salvage the chocolate portion and added the raspberries and coconut into the mix and refrigerated it, but it wasnโ€™t quite right. My room mate the most of it by mixing it with ice cream. I. Guessing the sugar free syrup messed up the recipe.

    1. HI Jayne, sorry the recipe did not work for you. It is a very old recipe adapted from another blogger. I have never used sugar free maple syrup before so i’d say that may have caused the issue for you.
