This dairy free chocolate coconut cup recipe is super simple, incredibly healthy and no baking required. If you're looking to improve your eating habits, but you don't want to give up your love of chocolate, then you're in luck. This recipe is chock full of antioxidants, superfoods and yes - it's CHOCOLATE!
While the Hubby was traveling this week, I had the kitchen to myself to play.
When I say 'play', I mean - make chocolate.
I then saw fit to eat said chocolate for dinner, with wine.
Why you'll love it
You will love this dairy free chocolate recipe because it’s a guilt-free go-to alternative for your chocolate cravings. Hear me now - there is no health-related benefit to giving up chocolate if you love it because the really good stuff actually has a ton of beneficial qualities.
I’m talking antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and most certainly anti-fat gain. This recipe will not let you down and it won’t steer you down a path of sugar madness.
Keep it in the freezer and it will last for at least a few weeks. Just defrost one or two when you’re feeling a craving come on. Give the chocolate a little time to warm up to room temperature (or not) and enjoy.
It's all upside.

ooh yum I have to experiment with some of those sugar substitutes.

I highly recommend xylitol and eyrithritol. They don't have an aftertaste like stevia and they have other health benefits, too.
