It doesn’t get much better than this! A ketogenic, low-carb, fat burning chocolate dessert that melts in your mouth! I could live on these! Because they are low sugar, they are a great snack as well as a dessert option.
Coconut butter and coconut oil are rich in lauric acid which is a natural anti-microbial that helps the body reduce yeast and bad bacteria. These fats also help improve our ability to burn fat for energy and improve brain function.
Raw chocolate or cacao this is loaded with dopamine boosting nutrients. It is one of the best sources of PEA’s which are natural compounds that cross over the blood brain barrier and stimulate and modulate the release of dopamine in the brain. Cacao is also very rich in magnesium and zinc and chromium which help to balance and stabilize blood sugar.
Cacao also helps to boost feel good endorphins and serotonin that helps improve mood and sleep . This combination of ingredients makes raw chocolate the best mood boosting superfood. Your family will go crazy for this recipe!
Hiya DocJoc!
I made these last nite. Added cacao nibs and 3 tbs of cacao powder to the base. I did not do the chocolate topping (yet), lol
♡AWESOME♡
Love the videos…

I’m glad you love them Nancy! Nice additions!
Where are the macros for this recipe? Are we supposed to enter the recipe ourselves into MFP?
I wish there was a way to print the recipe without all the junk that’s added when you hit print preview. Guess I’ll have to handwrite it. Don’t understand why the ingredients are shown here, as it should be, but you can’t print just that. If you print it, you have to have junk like get from Amazon, which who cares. It’s a shame; it looked like a great recipe.
Also called Coconut Manna. Nutiva makes it.
Made these yesterday and entered the recipe into My Fitness Pal. I used for sweetener 3 T Swerve and 3 T maple syrup, and they are delicious, but quite high calorie each… recipe made 10 and I would make again same way but make 12-15 instead.

Can you substitute grass fed butter for the coconut butter?
I’m sure you could Debi! I’d love to hear how it turns out!
I have none alcoholic fatty liver,but very liked the sweet.Can you give some recipes?
Here you go Erzsebet! https://drjockers.com/keto-dessert-recipes/
These are a great sweet fix. I also alternate adding sunbutter and crushed pecans.
That sounds delicious Gail!
I’d sub cocoa butter for the coconut oil if you are allergic to coconut oil
Yes you could try that!
What is cocoa butter and what area of supermarket do I find it in? Never heard of it but these look delicious!!!
Hey Cami, You can find this product near the nut butters. It is a puree of only the coconut flesh and it is creamy and delicious!
Why isn’t the chocolate listed in the ingredients list?? It’s only mentioned in the instructions… HOW MUCH?? What kind?? And what can be used in place of Coconut Butter?
The last ingredient says this: 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup cacao powder OR 1 bag of enjoy life chocolate chips
