About the Recipe

Ingredients

140g dessicated coconut

3 egg whites

3 tbsp xylitol

1 tsp lime or lemon juice

1 tbsp cornflour

3 small squares of good quality dark chocolate (eg. Green & Blacks)

Preparation

1. Combine the coconut, egg white, xylitol, cornflour and lime or lemon juice and mix well into a stiff paste.

 

2. Divide into 12 walnut-sized balls and shape into rectangles or flattish circles. Place on a lined baking tray and bake at 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4 for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 150°C/350°F/Gas mark 2 for a further 5 minutes. Remove from oven.

 

3. Melt the chocolate in a bowl inside a saucepan of water and then dip one half of each coconut bar into the chocolate and place on a lightly greased or lined plate. Chill in the fridge to set.

 

Alternatively, you can drizzle the chocolate over the bars.


One serving is 3 bars - enjoy!
