Chocolate Coconut Cream

Yum oh yum to the yum!  It's like a Mounds, only better.   And she agrees.  See that smile?

Now this recipe is so simple; I really don't need to type anything.  Just see the pics below. 

But... Just in case.  Here's the deats.

The chocolate.  This dessert is divine when made with some yummy 70% dark chocolate.  In this case I used Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips because I know those are safe for my little NO Dairy man.  I order these in semi-bulk (6 packages) from Amazon.  Amazon beats any of the local grocery stores by almost $1 per package.  Whoot!  Now I'm all for buying local for most everything, but $1 per pack is quite a savings.

The coconut.  When you open a can of coconut milk you will find that a thick layer of cream has risen to the top.  That's the stuff you want for this recipe!

The measurements.  Who needs em!?  I'm a cook, not a baker.  But, but, but... It's ok.  This is one of those very forgiving, super easy treats.  If you want a creamier chocolate, add in MORE coconut cream. If you want a stiffer chocolate, add in less.   If you want to make little chocolate balls, then stir in some unsweetened shredded coconut and shape into balls.  Want a gluten free cake ball?  Then shove a stick in that chocolate coconut ball!  See what I mean?  One little gluten free recipe can take you to all kinds of joyful places!!!  

Still want a traditional recipe?  Here you go.

Chocolate Coconut Cream

2/3 cup dark chocolate pieces

1/4 cup coconut cream 

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.  When soft, wisk in the coconut cream.  Done!  If you like a sweeter chocolate, sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon xylitol or 1/2 teaspoon sugar and whisk some more.  But you really don't need it.  Promise!
