These creamy raw coconut squares are so light and creamy and tasty and dreamy – YUM. If you have the ingredients at home, go in your kitchen and make this haha! They are so good. They will melt in your mouth. Such a treat; And a healthy one!
They are very easy and quick to make, and since they are raw, they don’t require any baking. You will have to keep these goodies in the freezer otherwise they will melt rapidly at room temperature. I used coconut oil and coconut butter, as well as coconut nectar for sweetener. Coconut nectar is easily found in health food store but if you can’t find it, replace with organic, raw honey. I don’t recommend using agave as it’s high in fructose but if you do use agave once in a while, it will work in the recipe as an alternative to coconut nectar. Just make sure it’s organic and raw, and preferably use the blue agave, which is the “best” one.
I use fresh strawberries in the mixture to create that dreamy light pink colour and for extra vitamin C.
This creamy dessert is raw, vegan, gluten- and soy-free.
