Raspberry Coconut Rough
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup fresh raspberries 125 grams punnet
- ½ cup coconut oil

- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or rice malt syrupor to make it keto friendly, add ¼ - ½ 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.

- 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.
