I am starting a Paleo-friendly snack company and I think I know what ingredients are healthy and important to Paleo fans like you -- BUT I need YOUR feedback to be sure I'm headed in the right direction!! Please take my survey to support a Paleo entrepreneur trying to make it easier to buy truly nutritious and delicious products.
I really appreciate any support. Thank you.
1 cup coconut oil, melted
2 cups shredded coconut, unsweetened
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup
0.5 pounds of 72% dark chocolate (Trader Joe's Pound Plus Bars are great) or 1 bag of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips if you only use non-dairy chocolate in your paleo cooking (the carb count will be slightly higher though)
Makes about 30 "mounds."
1. In a large bowl, mix the coconut oil with the shredded coconut, vanilla and agave.
2. Roll up small mounds, place on a tray and freeze until they harden.
3. Melt the chocolate chips in a pot and drizzle over the frozen coconut.
4. Return dish to the freezer to cool and keep frozen.
5. Enjoy!

I assume these are also vegan?
ReplyDeleteI do Paleo and they are one of my go for dessert after supper
ReplyDeleteI just attempted this with flaked coconut rather than shredded (that's all I had) and it seems like I can't get the coconut to "bind" together, it all just falls apart... Is this normal? I lumped them together the best I could and they are in the freezer now, I was just wondering if anyone had any insight?
