These raw coconut recipes are so good, you’ll want to eat them all day long.
The best part about these recipes is that you can actually use the coconut meat!
Coconut meat is a superfood loaded with healthy fats and fiber.
It also has anti-inflammatory properties and is a great source of vitamin C, B12, and fiber.
Plus, it’s super versatile.
You can dehydrate it and use the powder in baked goods, or you can make it into ice cream!
Either way, these raw coconut recipes are delicious and super easy to make.
1. Raw Coconut Macaroons
If you love macaroons, you have to try this raw recipe!
These coconut macaroons are made with no eggs and are gluten-free.
They’re also vegan and paleo-friendly.
If you love the sometimes chewy texture of these cookies, keep the almonds in.
The nutty flavor will add an amazing contrast to the lightness of these treats.
All that flavor comes from pureed dates, vitamins A and C, and probiotics!
2. Raw Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Coconut is a healthy alternative to sugar, and in my opinion, it provides just as much flavor.
It’s milder than brown sugar, so you can use it to sweeten cookies and other desserts.
You can also use it to make baked goods like chocolate chip cookies or coconut-filled muffins.
The best part ? You’ll need just five ingredients for these scrumptious chocolate chip cookies!
3. Raw Coconut Milk Ice Cream (Homemade or Store-Bought)
If you’ve never had homemade ice cream, I highly recommend giving it a try.
This recipe is so easy to make and pays dividends in the flavor department.
All you need are three simple ingredients: coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
The result is a thick, creamy treat that has a hint of exotic tropical flavors that’s best enjoyed on a hot summer day or an autumn evening under the stars.
It’s nearly impossible to resist the sweet and salty goodness!
4. Raw Coconut Flour Brownies
Nothing beats homemade brownies, but when you have a craving, it’s easy to skip the trouble of baking.
The best part of brownies is that they’re far less fattening than cake, which means they’re more affordable.
These raw coconut flour brownies are packed with flavor and texture.
They’re thick and decadent without being overly heavy or filling.
If you love those fudgy chewy treats, give this recipe a try!
5. Homemade Raw Chocolate Chips
Chocolate is a wonderful thing, especially when made with chocolate chips.
Using raw cacao powder allows you to get all the goodness of the cacao beans while keeping them super nutritious.
And it’s much easier than buying pre-made powders at the store!
The only downside to making your own is that you won’t be able to buy as many colors as you can in store.
So, if you want something that will stay chewy for days, try making some homemade chocolate chips. You can even add them to your next bake or dessert.
6. Homemade Raw Chocolate Fudge
Chocolate-covered anything is always a hit. And this fudge is no exception.
Made with cacao powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup, it’s a delicious treat that you can add to your next dessert.
7. Best Ever Vegan Carrot Cake
This cake is light and fluffy, thanks to the use of vegetable oil.
It’s also packed with carrots and spices, giving it a wonderful earthy flavor.
The frosting on top is less sweet than traditional cream cheese frosting.
It’s more like vanilla-infused jam with lots of spice. So, if you’re looking for something a little different, give this one a try!
8. Vegan Coconut Macaroons
These gluten-free macaroon bars are light, fluffy, and incredibly scrumptious.
They’re also vegan and made with a simple blend of cashews, coconut oil, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
I like to use dairy-free chocolate chips for my recipe.
But you can also use dark chocolate or even dark cocoa if you prefer that extra depth.
9. Vegan Coconut Chocolate Truffles
These next truffles are calling your name.
With their tasty chocolate and coconut combination, they’re the perfect mix of indulgent and nutritious.
Plus, they’re super easy to make!
You only need three ingredients to whip up these delicious little treats: dates, coconut, and cocoa powder.
When mixed together, it creates a sweet, nutty base for these decadent truffles.
10. Vegan Coconut Mousse
Coconut mousse is a sweet, creamy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
It’s made with coconut cream and fresh coconut flakes blended until smooth.
It’s then dolloped into a glass dish and topped with vegan chocolate or peanut butter.
The best part about this recipe is that you can use up leftover coconut milk!
11. Vegan Coconut Cake
Coconut is my favorite flavor, and I just can’t get enough.
So with its depth of flavor, sweetness, creaminess, and subtle coconutty notes, this cake is a dream.
And it’s so moist! This cake requires no eggs or dairy. It’s just coconut milk and coconut sugar.
12. Vegan Coconut Ice Cream
This smooth and creamy coconut ice cream will melt in your mouth as soon as you take a sip.
With just five ingredients and 20 minutes of prep, this ice cream is sure to be your new favorite!
