This Minty Coconut Rough is the yummiest raw chocolate treat. Only takes a couple of minutes to make and 30-60 minutes to set. I have also included the thermomix version.
How good is coconut rough!
I shared my healthy version back in 2015 and it has been one of my most loved recipes ever since.
I make it regularly, probably at least every 1 -2 weeks, plus it is such an easy dessert to make. Great for when you have guests coming over last minute.
Recently, I started adding food grade peppermint essential oil to my coconut rough to make a minty coconut rough.
OMG it is amazing!
So, I have to share this recipe with you. Even though I have only modified it slightly, you definitely need to have this recipe.
I also didn't toast the shredded coconut for this version, as it works well either way. Anything to save a bit of time is always a big plus for me, when I have lots going on (which is all the time these days)
I highly recommend using a food grade peppermint essential oil if you can. Peppermint extract is just not the same as a good quality essential oil and the flavour is definitely not the same.
