Well actually, it does!
A creamy coconutty bar with a layer of raspberry jam all dipped in luxurious dark chocolate & cacao mix - these raspberry bounty bars are like little bites of heaven, plus they're the perfect for the festive season!!
Ingredients:
For the coconut filling:
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup cup natural yoghurt (or coconut cream)
- 2 scoops collagen powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (fractionated)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- A pinch of salt
For the raspberry chia layer:
- 200g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
For the chocolate coating:
- 100g ceremonial cacao paste
- 100g of 75% dark chocolate
Method:
- Add the shredded coconut, yoghurt, collagen powder, vanilla, coconut oil and maple syrup to a large bowl.
- Mix until combined then use your hands and then shape into small bars or balls.
- Place these on a large plate lined with baking paper to set in the freezer for a couple of hours.
- Prepare the raspberry chia layer: Place the raspberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small sauce pan. Cook over a medium heat while softening the raspberries with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Once you have a sauce like consistency, take off the heat and mix in the chia seeds. Set to one side and allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top the coconut bars with the raspberry chia sauce. Let thee set enough to slice into.
- Melt the dark chocolate and allow to cool slightly so it's not piping hot when you coat the bars.
- Coat each bar in your chocolate mix and pop back in the freezer to set for about half an hour.
- Top with a sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy the deliciousness of each bite.
We prefer to store these in the freezer in an airtight container, and take them about 10-15 minutes before serving so they soften slightly.
We hope you enjoy these healthy bounty bites with your loved ones, throughout the festive season. Wishing you a safe and joyful Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
