100 percent Chocolate Coconut Manna Confect with Coconut Shavings
A little experimentation making confect with my favourite ingredients: 100% Chocolate, Coconut, Coconut Manna and of cause Stevia-sweet extract.
I'll keep this post short and sweet as the making of these treats is very simple, all that is required is a little patience during setting time.
Coconut Manna is sweet in itself, so does not require additional sweetening. Use stevia extract powder or liquid to sweeten the chocolate part of the recipe..
Makes: 1/2 sheet black/ white & 1/2 sheet white (approx. 20 portions)
Tray size: 27 x 17cm
Prep time: 5-15 min
Cooling: 20min
You need:
100g Coconut manna (1/3 for coconut manna with dusting, 2/3 for the chocolate layered version)
75g Cocoa liquor/ 100% Chocolate
40g Cocoa Butter
10g coconut rough flakes (for decorating)
1tsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
couple of drops vanilla extract - optional
2 tbsp Stevia-sweet Fluid
Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too),...
