Raspberry Coconut Rough
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup fresh raspberries 125 grams punnet
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or rice malt syrupor to make it keto friendly, add 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon organic liquid stevia
Instructions
- Toast coconut. Lightly toast the shredded coconut in a small fry pan on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Make raw chocolate. To make the chocolate mixture, melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat, add the sweetener, whisking briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well combined.
- Prepare coconut rough. Roughly chop the raspberries and place with the shredded coconut into the saucepan and stir through the chocolate mixture.
- Place into tin. Pour into a lined square baking tin (or spread evenly on lined baking tray) and place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to set.
- Slice. Slice in desired pieces and serve.
Notes
- I recommend storing in the freezer to keep firm.
- If you use frozen raspberries, you need to thaw out first and remove the excess moisture, otherwise the recipe may not set properly.
- The cook time does not allow the time for the coconut rough to set in the freezer, approximately 30-60 minutes.
G’day Vanessa, long time, since I last accessed your website even though it is in my bookmarks. I kind of lost my baking mojo for a long time. However, it’s back. How are you?
Your Raspberry slices look awesome, there’s a chance I’ve made them before, however, I was thinking about making them again. Would I be able to roll them in a ball rather then as a slice?
Hi Sonja, I have never rolled them into a ball, but you should be able to. I do have the coconut rough bliss balls, which is similar to coconut rough. So I think you should be ok. You may find the mixture quite soft, but if you can get into the balls, then it will firm up in the freezer quite well. I might have a play on the weekend and test it out 🙂
