Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut butter
  • 2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp pure maple Syrup or raw honey or liquid stevia to taste
  • 1/3 cup organic shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped*
  • 1/3 cup preservative free cranberries, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor combine coconut butter, coconut oil and maple syrup or honey until well combined. 
  • Spread thinly (approximately 1/2 cm) onto a lined slice tin. Sprinkle with shredded coconut, pistachios and cranberries and gently push these toppings into the unset coconut base. 
  • Transfer to refrigerator for 1- 2 hours or until set. 
  • Once set, break into pieces and store in an air-tight container in refrigerator until ready to eat. 

Notes

Make it Personal:
  • Add orange zest to topping.
  • Add additional maple syrup or honey if you like things extra sweet.
  • Add vanilla bean powder to coconut mixture.
  • To make this recipe nut free, sub pistachios with pumpkin seeds/pepitas.
Recipe Tips:
  • If your bark is a little rich you can add a little extra extra virgin coconut oil.
  • I choose organic dried cranberries (to avoid added preservatives) as well as being fruit juice sweetened (in stead of added sugar). You can buy these at health food stores.
To make this recipe nut free
  • Swap out pistachios for pepitas.
