Organic Raw Cocao Coconut Oil Coconut-filled Bites

The Lazy Crazy Healthy Food Lady is back with a treat...
Organic Raw Cocao Coconut Oil Coconut-filled Bites — a very sweet treat that freezes fast!

Main ingredient is coconut oil because it freezes so well plus it's healthy for you!
Makes 12 mini cups worth. No baking required. All you need is mini cupcake holders, melted coconut oil (easy in this warm weather, already melted!) and the rest of the following organic ingredients:

Chocolate coconut outside (top and bottom):

1 cup raw cocao powder
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1 tbs honey (or to taste)
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together in a separate bowl. Stir well. The more coconut oil you decide on the runnier the chocolate is, so you can see what works for your size of cupcake holders. You can always quickly stir up more if needed.

For the filling:
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 tbs honey
1/2 cup melted coconut oil

You can also skip this filling idea and go for creamy cashew butter instead!

Mix together in a separate bowl. Initially (in this photo) I didn't use enough shredded coconut so I just added more. I also made my batch too sweet accidentally! The ingredients listed above are what I'd use now after doing them, less honey, but each person likes different sweetness levels too.

Next, spoon a little of the coconut chocolate mix in each cup.
Then put some shredded coconut filling in each one.
Then spoon the rest of the chocolate mix on top. If you need more to top off just mix more together.
 

Put in freezer! Only takes about 10 minutes to freeze. Ready to eat.
 This is what they look like once frozen. The coconut oil may gather on edges, this is normal.

Store in the fridge.
They are divine...
Enjoy!
