No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Oil Patties
Serves 1, approximately 15 minutes
You will need:
Parchment or wax paper
3 teaspoons of cocoa powder or raw cacoa (I prefer non-raw cocoa powder)
3 teaspoons of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of raw honey
2 drops of vanilla extract
Choose your favorite extracts, flavorings or toppings such as toasted or raw coconut flakes, hemp seeds, almonds or hazelnuts.

How to create:
Thoroughly mix ingredients (except the toppings) in a small glass bowl. Use a fork and thoroughly mesh the coconut oil with the powder, trying to get all the chunks. When it is a paste-like consistency, taste and adjust. Use a rubber spatula to gather onto the parchment paper. Shape and add toppings. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and transfer to freezer for at least 10 minutes until hardened. Can make multiple patties and stack in freezer using parchment paper as dividers.
Tips: reduce amount of honey and add crushed, all-natural peppermint candies on top for a quick all natural chocolate-peppermint bark!
Want peppermint patties instead? Mix mint extract with this coconut spread and place between two plain chocolate patties. Press and return to freezer for awhile. Note: you can also place a full-fat can of coconut milk in the fridge and in 24 hours, skim the cream off the top and whip it with a mixer for awhile with some mint, vanilla and sweetener. (I didn’t officially try that last method but when I opened the cold can, I saw the possibilities!)
