Chocolate Coconut Butter Bites

By Lorimarie7

Ingredients

• 1 lb. (or 5 1/3 cups) unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 7 drops SweetLeaf clear liquid stevia (or substitute more honey to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Dump shredded coconut into your food processor. Process until the shredded coconut becomes liquid. This usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes in my food processor. During this process, occasionally turn off the food processor to scrape down the sides of the bowl and reincorporate far flung pieces of coconut.

Add the cocoa powder, honey, stevia and vanilla. Process until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Taste the coconut butter. If you are happy with the texture, spoon it into your molds. If you prefer a smoother texture, continue to process the butter until it reaches your desired consistency before spooning into molds.

Put molds into the freezer for thirty minutes or so to allow coconut butter to harden. After it’s completely solidified, pop out finished bites and store in a container in your freezer.
