Raspberry Coconut Bark

Tangy sweet raspberries meet creamy coconut bark for a delicious low carb treat. Healthy snacking is at hand!

High fat treats are essentially energy balls or bars but without the typical oats, grains, and high-sugar dried fruit. Instead they have healthy-fat, nutrient dense, low-carb ingredients like coconut butter and oil, nuts, nut butters, and seeds.

They help you burn more fat for fuel and develop a much healthier metabolism. It’s all part of kick starting your body into renewing and regenerating.

This recipe is so delicious and requires just a few ingredients which can easily be substituted if you don't have them on hand. It's the coconut butter and oil that is non-negotiable - for structural integrity. The rest of it you can totally freestyle.

You could use different berries or fruit, add nuts or seeds, or your favourite topping. Go for it and create something spectacular.

This is a simple treat made in minutes and can make a perfect gift to give to someone special.

 

 

Course Dessert, Snack

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut butter, store bought or recipe below in notes
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (or to taste)

Instructions

• Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper leaving some hanging over the top and sides to act as a handle to get the bark out easier.

  If you are using freeze dried berries, process them in a coffee grinder or small food processor until they are broken down and chunky. Set aside.

  If using fresh or frozen raspberries, using a fork or a spoon, squish them until they resemble a thick jam. Set aside.

   
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut butter, coconut oil, desiccated coconut and honey. Stir frequently until all ingredients are well combined and melted.

  Pour about half of the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread out in an even layer.

  Dollop the raspberry jam mixture overtop the coconut mixture in the pan and ripple it through using a cocktail stick or spoon or swirl with a knife.

  Cover with cling film and transfer to the freezer to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  When ready to serve, turn the bark out onto a board and peel off the parchment. Break or slice the bark into bite-sized shards and enjoy as a healthy frozen snack.
