I made these delicious treats for a Yoga & Pilates Masterclass that I organised recently. They’re very rich and decadent but extremely moreish at the same time!
The recipe calls for coconut butter which isn’t readily available in stores in the UK. You can buy it online or you can easily make it yourself: I’ve included the instructions in the recipe.

To make coconut butter
- Place 225g unsweetened shredded coconut in a food processor and process until completely smooth and pourable. You will need to stop frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl and it's a good idea to give your processor regular breaks so you don't overheat it! Be patient, it will seem like it's never going to get to a liquid state. It will but it might take 15 minutes or more depending on how powerful your processor is.
