Categories     Dessert     Snack     Candy

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound powdered sugar (approximately 3 1/2 cups unsifted)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (3 1/2-ounce) can flaked coconut (about 1 1/3 cups)
Optional: 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cocoa; stir in the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla, mixing thoroughly. The mixture will be quite stiff. Stir or knead in coconut and nuts, if using. A heavy-duty mixer with paddle attachment makes mixing much easier, or use the dough hook attachment on a handheld mixer.
  • Chill the chocolate mixture for about 15 to 20 minutes, then shape into 1-inch balls. If the mixture is sticky, butter your hands if necessary.
  • Arrange the candy balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper . Cover the candy and chill the cocoa balls for at least 2 hours, or until they are quite firm.
  • Store the chocolate coconut candies in tightly covered containers separated with sheets of waxed paper.
  • Enjoy.

COCOA COCONUT SURPRISE RECIPE



COCOA COCONUT SURPRISE RECIPE image

Categories     Fruit

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup Nutiva Coconut Oil
1/4 tsp Peppermint Oil
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tbs Raw Coconut Nector
1 tbs Raw Heavy Cream or Nutiva Coconut Manna
1 tbs Raw Cocoa
1 cup Go Raw Chocolate Granola

Steps:

  • 1. Before mixing, the ingredients should all be at room temperature. 2. Stir in the granola after all of the other ingredients have been thoroughly blended together. The heavy cream can be substituted with coconut manna. 3. Refrigerate after all of the ingredients have been mixed. The coconut oil content will cause the mixture to solidify in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or cocoa powder.
  • If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use shredded coconut instead.
  • Be sure to toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the batter. This will give them a richer flavor and a crispy texture.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before baking.
  • For a gooey center, bake the cake for 25-30 minutes. For a cake that is cooked through, bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This cocoa coconut surprise cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of chocolate and coconut is a classic, and the gooey center takes this cake to the next level. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this cocoa coconut surprise cake a try.
