Ingredients
  

Bars
  • 200 g coconut flakes
  • 50 ml thick coconut milk
  • 50 g coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Glaze
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Melt the coconut milk and coconut oil in a pot over low heat.
  2. Add the coconut flakes, vanilla and honey and mix until the flakes have absorbed the fat.
  3. Spread the mass on a baking tray and chill for an hour, until it is firm enough to shape.
  4. Form bars or balls, working quickly before the mass softens.
  5. Melt the coconut oil, cocoa powder and honey for the glaze in a separate pot.
  6. Set the bars on paper, spoon the glaze over them in one pass and return them to the fridge to set.
