Jaffa Coconut Rough

Jaffa coconut rough is made with 5 ingredients - coconut oil, cacao, shredded coconut, maple syrup and orange essential oil. I have also included the thermomix method.

My coconut rough is one of the easiest healthy chocolate treats that you can make.

It only takes 5 minutes to make and around 30 - 60 minutes to set. It does not get much easier than that. It has been one of my most popular recipes to date for that reason.

I now add essential oils to my coconut rough to change up the flavours.

First, I started adding peppermint essential oil to make my minty coconut rough and now I have been making this orange coconut rough using orange essential oil.

You can use different food grade essential oils or food extracts to change up the flavour of your coconut rough.

I have also included the thermomix method for all the thermi users out there.
