Yield: 16 logs
Ingredients
Coconut Logs
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup softened coconut butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- 1 tsp. peppermint extract
- ¼ tsp. salt
Chocolate Shell
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp. cacao powder
- 6 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
- 6 Tbsp. melted cacao butter
- 6 Tbsp. maple syrup, room temperature

Instruction
Coconut Logs
- In your food processor, combine all the coconut log ingredients and process until creamy.
- Spread evenly into a lined 8” loaf pan and place in your freezer for 1-2 hours.
- Once hard, remove the coconut mixture from the freezer and cut into 16 logs. Place the logs onto a lined baking sheet and return to your freezer while you make the chocolate.
Chocolate Shell
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until no cacao lumps remain.
- Remove coconut logs from the freezer, dunk each one in the chocolate, sprinkle a small handful of slivered almonds on top, and return to the baking sheet.
