Raw Vegan Bountys

Hello Readers. If you are from the icaniwillsummerbody challenge and you like to reduce your sugar intake: Try these heavenly vegan Raw Coconut Bountys!

Make the healthy SWITCH. Raw Coconut Bountys for Storebought Bountys

For the bars:
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp agave nectar/maple syrup/coconut sugar

For the raw chocolate coating:
3 tbsp cacao butter or coconut oil
2 1/2 tbsps cacao powder
1 tbsp maple syrup/agave nectar

Put half of the desiccated coconut in a food processor and process for 15 or so minutes, until it forms a runny coconut butter, then combine with all the rest of the ingredients for the bars in the food processor and process for a few minutes until it forms a thick mixture. Either spread out flat in the bottom of a small baking tray, or roll into the desired shapes, then place into the freezer to set.

Whilst the coconut is freezing, get to work on the raw chocolate coating. Place the cacao butter or coconut oil into a small glass bowl that is sitting in a pot of hot water to form a water bath so that it can melt. If necessary, turn the heat up under the pot to a low heat, but be careful not to get any water into the cacao butter. Once the cacao butter is liquid, add the cacao powder and sweetener, mixing vigorously to prevent any lumps.

Now comes the fun part 😀 dip your coconut bars into the raw chocolate mixture, and then place onto a piece of greaseproof paper to set. The coldness of the coconut should make the chocolate set almost immediately so that they are ready to eat, so enjoy, or freeze to keep them in their best condition.

Vegan Coconut Mango Popsicles

August 18, 2013 By Lara 4 Comments

I am so sorry to annoy you with another Ice Cream post.

BUT it is almost the end of summer and I want to celebrate the number 1 dessert for summer for the last time. I bet there is no better way than with fruity fresh coconut mango popsicles. The taste of mango and coconut gives me the feeling that this summer lasts forever. I am taking all the good memories with me and I save them for a cold winters day.

Vegan Mango coconut Popsicles

Ingredients:

800 mL canned coconut milk

100 grams (heaping 1/2 cup) granulated sugar or you could use Stevia

1 fresh mango

2 tsp soymilk

popsicle sticks

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk with the sugar until the sugar and the coconut oil have mixed in and dissolved.

2. Stir the mango and mix in some soymilk

3. Prepare popsicles by placing cups in muffin pans to hold them and then filling each til they are 1/3 full with either mango or the sweetened coconut milk. Freeze at least 1 hour or until the base is completely frozen.

4. Top with 1/3 of either mango nectar or sweetened coconut milk. This time freeze for only 30 to 45 minutes, or until the second layer is slushy and half frozen, enough so that you can place a popsicle stick in each and it will hold on its own. Return the popsicles to the freezer and freeze the second layer til it’s solid (about 30 more min).

5. Top with a final layer of mango nectar or coconut milk. Freeze overnight.
