20 pieces

 

i found a whole jar of tropical traditions coconut cream in my pantry, and

was in the mood for something special.

this recipe was inspired by the vivapura website's recipe for white bark.

Ingredients:

 

1 16oz jar coconut cream/coconut butter (not oil)

2 T each-raisins, goji berries, bee pollen, chopped chocolate pieces,

shredded coconut

1/2 cup chocolate chips, cacao paste or chopped chocolate

1/2 tsp vanilla powder and optional mesquite/lucuma powders

1/4 tsp each optional spices-cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, coriander

Preparation:

 

over bain marie, liquefy coconut butter. divide dried fruit, bee pollen and

chocolate pieces between prepared mold or individual small shaped molds. add

powdered vanilla and pour into molds. refrigerate to solidify. they're

beautiful! they're not too sweet, so you could add more powdered sweetener

but i don't think i'd use agave because the coconut butter may seize when

you mix it in. i didn't try it.

to make the dark ones, add the chocolate chipr or chopped chocolate and the

spices to the melted coconut butter. pour into molds alone or over dried

fruits as well. refrigerate to solidify.
