I love creating new versions of coconut rough because it really is so easy to make. It is perfect for when you have a last-minute guest coming over or you get chocolate cravings. 

Since sharing my original recipe, I have made minty coconut rough and Jaffa coconut rough versions.

This addition of raspberries takes it to another level!

Print Recipe
Prep Time:5 minutes
Total Time:5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries 125 grams punnet
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or rice malt syrupor to make it keto friendly, add 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon organic liquid stevia

Instructions

  • Toast coconut. Lightly toast the shredded coconut in a small fry pan on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Make raw chocolate. To make the chocolate mixture, melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat, add the sweetener, whisking briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well combined.
  • Prepare coconut rough. Roughly chop the raspberries and place with the shredded coconut into the saucepan and stir through the chocolate mixture.
  • Place into tin. Pour into a lined square baking tin (or spread evenly on lined baking tray) and place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to set.
  • Slice. Slice in desired pieces and serve.

Notes

  1. I recommend storing in the freezer to keep firm.
  2. If you use frozen raspberries, you need to thaw out first and remove the excess moisture, otherwise the recipe may not set properly.
  3. The cook time does not allow the time for the coconut rough to set in the freezer, approximately 30-60 minutes.

  1. G’day Vanessa, long time, since I last accessed your website even though it is in my bookmarks. I kind of lost my baking mojo for a long time. However, it’s back. How are you?

    Your Raspberry slices look awesome, there’s a chance I’ve made them before, however, I was thinking about making them again. Would I be able to roll them in a ball rather then as a slice?

    1. Hi Sonja, I have never rolled them into a ball, but you should be able to. I do have the coconut rough bliss balls, which is similar to coconut rough. So I think you should be ok. You may find the mixture quite soft, but if you can get into the balls, then it will firm up in the freezer quite well. I might have a play on the weekend and test it out 🙂
