Everything tastes better when covered in chocolate, right? So why not make your own chocolate covered treats.
-chocolate covered strawberries
-chocolate covered bananas
-chocolate covered any dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, blueberries, cherries)
Once you've covered whatever it is you're making in chocolate put it in the fridge for the chocolate to harden and voila!
If you love all things coconut, and I do, then you can also make a healthier, knock off version of a bounty bar...
-make simple syrup (equal parts of raw sugar and water over heat)
-add shredded unsweetened coconut until 95% of the sugar is absorbed
-let cool a bit
(If you have molds to pour into this would help though I managed without)
-scoop out a tablespoon of coconut and place on a plate, drizzle chocolate over
-optionally add an almond on top
-Pop it into the fridge for the chocolate to harden and voila!
hmmmmm bounty bars....I love those....it all looks so yuumy!
ReplyDeletethose look great! Do you know how to make coconut popsicles covered with chocolate?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI have an idea, and of course, there are a lot of options.
I would probably blend coconut milk and coconut water (more coconut milk if you want a thicker creamier popsicle), and add personally I'd add some shredded coconut too. Pour this into molds and let it freeze, then cover with chocolate and refreeze.
You could also put some blended fruit with the coconut milk/water, coconut-mango or coconut-banana might be good! Add some honey if you need to sweeten it.
Let me know if you try it!
