PREP TIME 10 mins
 
SERVES 14
 
COOK TIME 45 mins
 
DIFFICULTY Easy


INGREDIENTS

1 1/4  cup unsweetened shredded coconut (70g)
 
2 tbsp NutriVital Organic Cranberry Juice
 
2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
 
2 tbsp coconut oil, softened
 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
 
Pinch salt
 
1/2 cup chocolate chips (85g)
 
Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil

METHOD

  1. Process all ingredients (except choc chips) in a food processor (you can also stir by hand)

  2. Line a plate with baking paper. Form mixture into bars, then freeze until firm. (If the mixture is too sticky to make patties, put it in a bowl and freeze for only a few minutes, until it’s firm enough to shape).

  3. Melt the chocolate chips. I like to stir in the optional 1 tsp oil before melting because it makes a much smoother chocolate sauce that more easily coats the patties and enables you to use less sauce overall.

  4. Dip bars into the sauce then re-freeze until firm.
