White Chocolate Coconut Nests
Say hello to my little white chocolate nests made with toasted coconut. These little babies are vegan and keto-friendly and delicious.
I am a white chocolate lover, I was always that weird kid at easter who WANTED the white chocolate bunny. I remember watching everyone’s face drop as they peeled back that foil to reveal a paler bunny instead of the expected chocolate brown.
Not me though! Anyway white chocolate is now a regular in my kitchen since I figured out how to make a sugar-free version (which took many goes).

Cook time:

INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- ½ cup coconut butter
- ½ cup cacao butter
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
- Liquid stevia to taste
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and spread coconut onto a tray. Toast on the oven for 5–10 minutes. Watch carefully as it burns easily! Give it a shuffle about halfway through.
- Melt the cacao butter in a double boiler. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut butter until combined. Stir in the stevia and vanilla.
- Combine the chocolate mixture with the toasted coconut and toss to coat. Spoon into moulds – I use silicone but you can use a regular mini muffin tin lined with muffin cases too.
- Evenly pour over any extra chocolate mixture, and using your hands or a small spoon, make a well in the centre by pushing the coconut out to the sides.
- Set in the fridge or freezer and store in the fridge.
