    This Mint Coconut Rough is the yummiest raw chocolate treat. Only takes a couple of minutes to make and 30-60 minutes to set.

    How good is coconut rough! It is one of the easiest raw chocolate recipes that you can make.

    I make it regularly, probably at least every 1 -2 weeks and it perfect for when you have guests coming over last minute. You can change up the flavours easily. I have made orange, raspberry and peppermint. There are many other flavours that you can try too.

    RECIPE FEATURES

    Gluten & dairy free - this recipe is suitable for people with gluten, dairy, nut allergies & intolerances as well as many other dietary requirements.

    Easy to make - this recipe takes 5 minutes to make and approximately 1 hour to set.

    Healthy wholefood ingredients - which are easy to find at any supermarket.

    RECIPE INGREDIENTS

    • Shredded organic coconut (desiccated coconut also works well)
    • Coconut oil
    • Cacao powder
    • Maple syrup
    • Peppermint essential oil (or peppermint extract)

    RECIPE FAQS

    Do I need to toast the coconut?

    I didn't toast the shredded coconut for this version, but it works well either way. Anything to save a bit of time is always a big plus for me, when I have a lot going on.

    What are the storage recommendations for this recipe?

    Yes you can! You can keep stored in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or you can store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You will need allow 5 minutes to thaw them out before eating.

    What is better - essential oil or extract?

    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.
