Raw Choco-Coco Macaroons


About this recipe:
These choco-coco macaroons are absolutely raw and really really hard to resist. They don't take much effort to make but they take a while in the dehydrator. The result is a macaroon crisp on the outside and chewy on in the interior. Worth the wait. I found this recipe in a raw cookbook called 'Raw Food, Real World'.


This recipe requires a dehydrator.

Ingredients:
• 3 cups of dried unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 T. raw cocoa powder
• 1 c. maple syrup
• 1/2 c. coconut butter
• 1 T. vanilla extract
• 1/2 t. mineral salt

1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and stir well.
2. Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons - spoon rounds of the mixture onto a dehydrator tray lined with Teflex.
3. Dehydrate at 115F for about 24 hours until crisp.
4. Store in the refrigerator for a week or freezer for longer.
