Ingredients
- 2 cups (150 g/5.3 oz) unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup (75 g/2.6 oz) almonds
- 2.5 ounces (70 g) dark chocolate, 85 percent cacao solids or more
- 2.5 ounces (70 g) cacao butter
- ¼ cup (40 g/1.4 oz) erythritol or Swerve
- Few drops liquid stevia, to taste (optional)
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C, or gas mark 4). Spread the coconut and almonds on a baking sheet. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly golden. Stir once or twice to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes to cool.
- In a food processor, combine the coconut, almonds, dark chocolate, cacao butter, and erythritol. Pulse until smooth. The exact amount of time depends on your processor. Add the stevia (if using), and pulse again. Spoon the butter into a glass container. Seal and store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 3 months.
