I had been mulling this idea around in my head for a while as well, and because of the Thai Thai Again classes and the Coconut Lime Butter trick, I had already decided to make a dairy free chocolate, using coconut and roasted cacao nibs….SO….the topping for the slice is a great recipe in and of itself. I will certainly be making the topping again as I have a couple of dairy free young nephews who are going to LOVE this treat.
Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you, but frankly, while you are buying the goods for one batch, go ahead and buy two lots.To keep these healthy make sure you use organic products, particularly the coconut oil and dried coconut. There are other versions of those products that are certainly not healthy. Enjoy, no guilt!
