Chocolate Coconut Cookies
Serves 4, 5 GLs per serving
These miniature biscuit bars are great to serve after a meal when you just feel like something sweet. They are also a much healthier alternative than chocolate bars you find in the supermarket.
Ingredients:
140g dessicated coconut
3 egg whites
3 tbsp xylitol
1 tsp lime or lemon juice
1 tbsp cornflour
3 small squared of good quality dark chocolate (e.g. Green & Blacks)
Method:
- Combine the coconut, egg white, xylitol, cornflour and lime or
lemon juice and mix well into a stiff paste. - Divide into 12 walnut-sized balls and shape into rectangles or flattish circles. Place on a lined
baking tray and bake at 180C/350F/Gas mark 4 for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 150C/350F/Gas
mark 2 for a further 5 minutes. Remove from oven. - Melt the chocolate in a bowl inside a saucepan of water and then dip one half of each coconut bar into the chocolate and place on a lightly greased or lined plate. Chill in the fridge to set. Alternatively you can
drizzle the chocolate over the bars. One serving is 3 bars.
Enjoy your chocolate coconut bars!
