Who else loves coconut?
If you’re a coco-nut (haha) like me, you’re going to love this super healthy, easy to make recipe. I adapted the classic sugary coconut rough recipe to give it more of a healthy vibe, and I must say the results are stellar (even if I do say so myself ). I’d love you to enjoy this taste sensation too, so here’s the recipe.
Zingy Coconut Rough Recipe
2 cups desiccated coconut
1 heaped tablespoon unsweetened carob or cacao powder
10 medjool dates, seeds removed
1 ½ teaspoon ginger powder (yep, this gives it the zing!)
2 tablespoons coconut cream
Place all ingredients into your food processor. Blend until well combined (this will take time). Firmly press the mixture into a lined loaf tin. Place in the freezer to set for at least 3 hours. Slice and enjoy the coconuty goodness!
