\"These<\/a>Satisfying chocolate cravings is often a challenge for people with dairy allergies. So I was really excited to find a recipe for low-carb coconut chocolate bars that are dairy-free at The Nourished Caveman<\/a> website. I didn’t alter the recipe at all for my first try, though I did discover some tricks to make the process easier which are included in the instructions below.<\/p>\n

My daughter, son-in-law, and I were the taste testers as the Man of Steel does not like coconut. The three of us devoured them while the Man of Steel wrinkled his nose. We coconut lovers decided that when I make them again, I should substitute cocoa butter for coconut oil so the coating holds up better. I’m also going to add some chopped almonds to the mix and use a little sugar instead of only stevia.<\/p>\n

Dairy-Free Coconut Chocolate Bars<\/h4>\n

ingredients<\/h3>\n

1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
\n1 packet or 1 teaspoon stevia
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1\/3 cup coconut cream
\n4 tablespoons coconut oil or 2 ounces cocoa butter
\n2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n

Mix shredded coconut with coconut cream,1\/2 of the vanilla extract and 1\/2 packet or 1\/2 teaspoon of stevia. Blend well with a spatula or a spoon.<\/p>\n

Place the shredded coconut mixture on a small cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (I used a bread loaf pan.) Shape it into a flat rectangle about 4 inches by 6 inches and 1 inch thick.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>Place in the freezer for 2 hours, until frozen solid. Remove from the freezer and cut into 5-6 bars.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>While coconut is in the freezer, prepare the chocolate coating:<\/p>\n

Melt coconut oil or cocoa butter in a small sauce pan. Add cocoa powder remaining stevia and vanilla extract to the coconut oil or cocoa butter. Mix well on low heat for about 2 minutes, until all ingredients are well blended.<\/p>\n

Let cool to room temperature, but still liquid. (I put the pan in the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed the process.)<\/p>\n

Now dip the bars in the cocoa mixture, and turn to all sides to coat evenly. It helps if the bars are frozen solid so they won’t break. (The frozen bars may cause the chocolate coating in the pan to solidify. If that happens, put the pan on a low burner for about a minute until the coating melts again.) Place bars back on the parchment paper.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>When all bars are all coated put in the refrigerator to harden. The bars can be kept in the fridge for harder consistency or at room temperature for softer bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
