Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut butter, store bought or recipe link below in notes
- 1/2 cup coconut, desiccated
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
Instructions
- Yield 12-15 treats - depending on the size or your silicone moldsMeasure the coconut butter and coconut flakes into a bowl and mash down with a fork. Melt the coconut oil on low in a saucepan until it turns liquid (it doesn't need to get super hot), then pour it into the coconut butter mixture. Stir until the coconut butter begins to melt and the mixture becomes liquidy. Add in the honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and zest. Stir until everything is well combined and taste. At this point, you can make it more tart or sweet, (more lemon or honey) or even adjust the texture by adding more coconut flakes or coconut oil.When it tastes right to you, pour into the silicone molds (or make a layer in a lined 6-8 inch square pan) and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the coconut butter bites are completely solid, then remove from molds or cut into squares.For the best texture, store these treats in the fridge in a container with a tightly covered lid. You can keep them on the counter, but coconut oil will melt in warmer temperatures (above 76 degrees), so it could get messy!
