• Stir in coconut and lime juice immediately.

COCONUT CACAO BARK

Steps:

• Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan.
• Carefully add the raw cacao, vanilla, sweetener and nuts. The oil might spit a bit when you add other ingredients to it. Note: If you want, grind the Xylitol in a coffee grinder until a fine powder.
• Mix well to dissolve the sweetener and taste to make sure it is sweet enough.
• Pour onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. My baking sheet was 8x 11 1/2" which made my bark about 1/4" thick. But you can use a smaller one if you like your bark thicker.
• Put the pan into the freezer for about 30 minutes making sure the pan is straight so the bark will be even when it sets.
• Check the bark before you take it out of the freezer to ensure its solid all the way through.
• When set remove from the pan and break into pieces. Store in the fridge.
• Bon Appetit!

BAKED COCONUT (COCADA DE FORNO)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Lightly grease a baking dish with some spray.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar until light and creamy at medium speed, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue to mix. Scrape the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Add the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and Malibu and continue to mix at medium speed until the batter is well blended, about 1 minute. Add the coconut and mix until it is all incorporated, although the batter will look grainy.
• Fold the flour in with a rubber spatula. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. You can keep this in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days ahead of time.
• Bake in the oven until the top looks golden brown, the edges are set, but the center is slightly jiggly, about 20 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Serve with a scoop of lemon sorbet.
