Ingredients

Scale

Coconut Dome Mixture

  • 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Chocolate Coating

  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dome Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly moistened and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  2. Shape the Domes: Using your hands or a silicone mold, form the coconut mixture into dome-shaped mounds. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the tray to the freezer and chill the domes for 30 minutes so they become firm and easier to coat.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: While the domes chill, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a heat-safe bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or in a microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat the Domes: Remove the domes from the freezer and spoon or spread the melted chocolate over each dome, covering the tops completely to create a luscious chocolate layer.
  6. Set the Chocolate: Return the coated domes to the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
  7. Store: Keep the finished coconut domes in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can toast the shredded coconut before mixing to add a deeper, nuttier flavor to the domes.
  • For a richer and creamier filling, consider adding a spoonful of your favorite nut butter to the coconut mixture.
  • Use vegan dark chocolate chips to ensure the recipe remains entirely plant-based and vegan-friendly.
