Coconut Cookie Dough Chocolate Slice
Melt-in-the-mouth, delectable, coconutty little bars that will have you reaching for a second for sure!
A couple of months back I was asked if it was possible to come up with a nut free version of my cookie dough chocolate cups. This is that recipe. Since then it has become one of the number recipes made in my house.
So coocnutty, chewy and delicious it’s hard to pass up on! So I thought I would take a moment and share it with you guys. If you like coconut – it’s a recipe you’re going to want to try for sure!
I actually ended up turning this one into a bar. This meant I could double up on the filling – I confess it’s my favourite part – plus it makes it super-fast and super-easy to make.
The use of creamed coconut rather than the cashew nut butter in this instance means that it stays solid at room temperature – which is a fantastic quality if you want to take it out for lunch or as an on-the-go-snack. Being nut-free also means it’s perfect for those school lunch boxes – and it will certainly be loved by little people the world over.
