Coconut Lemon Bars
Just when I thought I knew every use for coconut I discovered coconut butter!
Also known as coconut manna, coconut butter is simply blended coconut meat. I used my first batch of coconut butter to make these raw refreshing coconut lemon bars.
Coconut butter will now be a staple in my kitchen! And so will these bars!
Ingredients
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
½ cup coconut butter (coconut manna)
½ cup coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Method
Melt the coconut oil and coconut butter in a mixing bowl over a bowl of hot water.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy.
Pour into your preference of mould or a baking dish (I use a silicone loaf pan).
Place in freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
Pop out of moulds or take out of dish and slice.
Garnish with zest (optional).
Notes
See another take on these bars, using raspberries instead of lemon.
