Holi is the time to celebrate and and fun. So we have an easy to make and no bake recipe to double your enjoyment.

Ingredients

½ cup butter or coconut oil
½ cup maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar, or stevia drops to taste
¼ cup cocoa powder or cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup almond butter, pecan butter, or tahini
2-3 cups shredded coconut flakes

Method

* Melt butter or coconut oil in a large saucepan.

* Stir in sweetener and cocoa powder and bring to a simmer. Simmer 2-3 minutes or until it bubbles, but be careful not to let it burn.

* Remove from heat and add vanilla and almond/pecan butter and stir until smooth.

* Add two cups coconut and mix to combine. Add more coconut if needed until finished mixture is thick and somewhat crumbly, but scoopable.

* Use a spoon to scoop the mixture onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet in cookie-sized servings.

* Place baking sheets in the freezer for 15 minutes until they have hardened.

* Store in an air-tight container in the freezer until ready to consume to maintain the texture.
