This has added Loving Earth Acai Berry powder but this can be left out if you want the middle to be a white colour.

This is how it looks without the Acai Berry powder

Insides:

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup coconut oil (solid)

1 heaped tablespoon Loving Earth Acai Berry Powder (optional)

1/4 cup Rice Malt Syrup (if you use honey just reduce the amount. Sweetness is personal but try half the amount and add more if it isn’t sweet enough for you!).

Place all ingredients in the food processor (chopping blade) and process until smooth.

The Acai Berry powder adds a nice burst of colour but leave it out if you want a white mixture.

This is how it looks without the Acai Berry powder. I used honey in this batch which is sweeter so just reduce the amount listed in the recipe by up to half.

Creamy white without the Acai Berry powder

Line your dish/pan with baking paper.

Line your dish/pan with baking paper. This is quite a small square pan so l used two strips to line it so the corners were neat.

Use a spatula and put your mix into the dish/pan.

Smooth out evenly.

I made a double batch here and used a larger pan.

Place in the freezer for about an hour.

Chocolate coating:

1/2 cup coconut oil

2 tablespoons cacao

1/4 cup Rice Malt Syrup (Less if you are using honey)

1/4 cup shredded coconut

Gently melt the coconut oil and when coolish add the other ingredients to it. Stir to make a nice mixture.

Everything is ready for the next step.

Once the slice is firm, remove it from the freezer and slice with a very sharp knife. The size of the pieces is up to you.

Place a few pieces of slice at a time into the chocolate mix and coat. Quickly pick up with your hands and place on a cooling rack.

Just add a few pieces at a time.

The chocolate dries very quickly as the slice is cold.

Have a taste test and then place the slice into the freezer in an air tight container. Enjoy this lovely treat.
