Multiple Serve Recipe
Ingredients
For the Super Food Mounds
For the Optional Chocolate Topping from the Peppermint Cream Chocolate Trimtastic Cake Recipe
Instructions
-
Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin across the surface. Allow the gelatin to soften for several minutes before heating. Turn the heat to medium, then whisk in the sweetener, salt, collagen, and butter (if using). Simmer, whisking occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, then add the extracts and shredded coconut and stir.
-
Cover a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Form bites as desired (use a small cookie scoop or just roll the cooled mixture into balls with your hands). You could also use candy molds. Chill or freeze.
-
If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate, or dip in, or toss with. Put Mounds bites in baggies. Keep what you want for the week in the refrigerator and put the rest in the freezer.
Note
Recipe Description continued...
Ginger says: “The candy bar we all know relies on corn syrup (the first ingredient!) for its chewiness. Instead, this version owes its wonderful chewiness to health-promoting gelatin and collagen. Drizzling chocolate on top is very fast, or you can even skip the chocolate and just enjoy the coconut!”
__________
Optional Chocolate Drizzle:
- 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil (melted: use flavorless kind if desired)
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 tsp TH Super Sweet Blend (ground in a coffee grinder)
Stir the ingredients together well in a small bowl. Drizzle the Superfood Mounds with the melted chocolate drizzle.
