I am excited to be sharing another variation of my coconut rough! My original coconut rough recipe is one of my most post popular recipes, which I shared back in 2015.

Since then, I have shared my minty coconut rough and Jaffa coconut rough recipes.

I love creating new versions of coconut rough, because it really is so easy to make. It is perfect for when you have a last minute guest coming over or you get a craving for someone sweet and/or chocolatey.

This addition of raspberries takes it to another level! Like my three other versions, it is still so easy to prepare and it is made with only 5 ingredients.

Shredded organic coconut
Fresh raspberries (if you use frozen raspberries, you need to thaw out and remove the excess moisture first, otherwise the recipe may not set properly)
Coconut oil
Raw cacao powder
Your choice of sweetener - pure maple syrup, brown rice syrup or stevia (if you want it to be keto/low-carb friendly).

I always keep these ingredients on hand, so I can easily whip this yummy treat up.

HOW TO MAKE

Making this raw dessert involves only a few steps:

First you need to lightly toast the shredded coconut (however you can skip this step if you are really short on time... I do on occasion)
Next, make the raw chocolate.
Then, roughly chop up the raspberries and add them plus the shredded coconut to the raw chocolate mixture and mix through.
Finally. pour the mixture into a lined square baking tin and place into the freezer and let it set, normally 30 - 60 minutes.

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup fresh raspberries (125 grams punnet)

2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or rice malt syrup (or to make it keto friendly, add ¼ - ½ teaspoon organic liquid stevia)

Instructions

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.
