For someone who would rather eat a block of cheese than a block of chocolate it can be a little tricky finding a healthy snack to satisfy that sweet craving. There’s only so many banana and peanut butter bites one person should eat, so I think we’re onto a bit of a game changer with this one, Coconut Bark where have you been all my life.

This sums up all the components that make a great recipe, it’s quick – like insanely quick, you can probably make this in an ad break (maybe? Try it) it’s the perfect healthy snack to grab after dinner or when you’re watching a film and need that snack, and it uses some of my favourite ingredients, especially The Wilds Muesli, yes yes yes. And the thing that makes a good recipe for me, is that you can play around with whatever ingredients you want to add in there, Nuts? Berries? Honey? Go wild…

What you’ll need:

• 55g Coconut butter
• 1 can of coconut cream
• The Wild Lime & Coconut Muesli (or any brand – but this ones yummy)
• A mix of berries (we went for goji and blueberries)
• Bee pollen (just to be obnoxious and for the colour (why else)
• Coconut Crisps
• Pinch of sea salt
• Vanilla essence
• Small baking dish

 

What you’ll need to do:

1. Line your tray/dish with baking paper
2. Melt your coconut butter in a bowl over a bowl of boiling water (don’t let the butter bowl touch the water
3. Then mix in can of coconut cream, your salt and vanilla essence
4. Pour your mix into your dish and then scatter over all your fillings, scatter the coconut chips over the top
5. And finally freeze until solid (takes around 30mins maybe more depending on the thickness)

The best part, smash your frozen block and enjoy.

This is a great alternative for a sweet bite, and you can make it exactly how you want it, throw in whatever ingredients you feel like, it makes for a pretty looking recipe plus it’s healthy, it’s easy and it tastes pretty damn good.
