Today’s recipe is a quick and easy recipe to throw together. Within 10 minutes, you will have a healthy treat, just waiting for you to need a boost of energy. Typically, people turn to sugar for energy, but that’s a false energy spike that will soon leave you feeling dragging.
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. “This type of fat is digested easily and sent directly to your liver, where they have a thermogenic effect and the ability to alter your metabolism positively. Which is one reason why many people claim that MCTs, including coconut oil, are burned by the body for energy or “fuel,” instead of being stored as fat.” (1)
Feel free to use any candy mold to shape these treats. As long as it makes you smile… it will work. :) If you like Tiramisu Cake, I have a fantastic recipe for creating a healthy, raw Tiramisu dessert. Tiramisu (using Agar Agar) or Tiramisu (using Irish Moss).
For this recipe, you can use either raw coconut butter or coconut oil, or a mix of the two. Each will give you a bit of a different texture, but all are amazingly delicious! I hope you enjoy this recipe. Blessings, amie sue

Hello Amie Sue,
I was wondering, in place of coconut buuter/oil, could you use cacao butter instead?
Many thanks for your inspirationl ‘uncooking’
You sure could Elizabeth…. you might need to tweak the other ingredients because you are adding in more of the chocolate flavor. Yum!!!
These sound delightful! Can you explain a bit the difference between the finished textures when using coconut butter vs. coconut oil?
Thanks!
Hi Kim…. the coconut butter will have more of a, hmmm, whats the best way to describe it?…. more of a hard cream texture. The oil will be harder, not as creamy on the tongue as you chew and it melts in the mouth. Does that help? amie sue
Thank you Amie Sue I am only a new raw eater for about 6 weeks and I was so lost where to continue as eating only salads was starting to get boring thank you for the recipes not sure I even know what some of the products are but I am willing to learn :)
It’s all a process Donna. I hope that you find great inspiration with my site and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Many blessings, amie sue
