Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 bunnies
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set aside. Ensure you have a bunny-shaped silicone mold or cookie cutter ready for shaping.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, gently warm the coconut butter until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency. You can do this by placing the bowl over a pot of warm water or microwaving in 10-second intervals.
- Add unsweetened cocoa powder, shredded coconut, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the softened coconut butter. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until all ingredients are well combined and form a smooth, uniform mixture.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a small amount of melted coconut butter. If too wet, incorporate a bit more almond flour to achieve a moldable consistency.
- Transfer the mixture into your bunny-shaped mold, pressing firmly and evenly to create clean shapes. If using a cookie cutter, spread the mixture on the parchment paper and cut out bunny shapes.
- Place the shaped bunnies in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up and set completely.
- Once set, carefully remove the bunnies from the mold or cut out the shapes. For a decorative touch, you can sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top.
- Store the coconut butter Easter bunnies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips
- • Temperature is key when working with coconut butter - warm it gently to achieve the perfect spreadable consistency. • Use a silicone mold for the most precise bunny shapes, but a cookie cutter works wonderfully too. • For extra firmness, ensure you refrigerate the bunnies for the full 15-20 minutes. • If the mixture feels too dry, add melted coconut butter gradually; if too wet, incorporate more almond flour. • For a festive touch, consider dusting with extra shredded coconut or adding natural food coloring. • These treats are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and will keep fresh for up to a week. • For a fun variation, try adding a drop of natural sweetener like stevia if you want a slightly sweeter version.
