Recipe Directions
- 1. Place dried, shredded coconut in food processor. Process for a couple of minutes. (It will seem like the coconut is too dry and you will want to add liquid. DON'T DO IT! Just keep processing. Eventually it will start to cling together and get oily-ish!)
- 2. Once it starts to get quite moist, add all remaining ingredients and process again until almost similar in texture to wet oily peanut butter! Or hummus! You know, all wet! (Or perhaps not QUITE as wet as hummus or PB, a bit crumblier than that, but it should definitely be moist and not grainy at all.)
- 3. Spoon your crazy white mixture into whatever molds/dish you want and PRESS DOWN FIRMLY WITH YOUR HANDS. (I don't have a lot of fancy cooking molds, so I just threw the mixture into a shallow glass dish and PRESSED IT DOWN FIRMLY with my hands.)
- 4. Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes. (It will harden and turn into what you see in the pic.)
- 5. YOU NOW HAVE RAW WHITE CHOCOLATE. Store it in the freezer at all times. Don't eat too much or you'll get a chocolate headache lol.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Now, this recipe will confuse and confound you. Why? Because it is so easy and bizarre and the coconut transforms into "white chocolate" right in front of your eyes. In fact, you just have to try it to believe me! OK, so as you can see, I call it "white chocolate" even though it is mostly coconut. It does have a coconutty flavor, so do not be surprised about that, but to me it tastes more like white chocolate than like coconut. This raw white chocolate recipe is ridiculously sweet and heavy, so you can really only handle a nibble at a time.
A food processor is definitely required for this recipe. People, when I say that, you must listen to me. Stop blending when I tell you to processs, k? :) And vice versa. Said with love! Because I want you to succeed at this whole raw food thing!
I keep it in the freezer all the time. If you let it get warm, it will get all messy.
TIP: If you are one of those fancy people, you can use candy molds to make all different kinds of white chocolate candy, but all I did was press it into a dish and then cut/break into pieces once frozen. Because I am SO not fancy!
TIP: Leave a few tablespoons of the mixture in its unfrozen state and you can use the crumbly stuff for fun things, like crumbly sweet topping over chopped berries <drool>
CLARIFICATION: I took this picture with coconut oil in the background, but I did not use any coconut oil in this recipe. Sorry to confuse you. I was just uncooking up a storm yesterday and took a whole bunch of pictures at once.

Oh my....oh my oh my oh my. SO tasty!!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! I haven't had white chocolate in 20 years...and this tastes almost exactly as I remember it (well, except with a hint of coconut..but what's wrong with a hint of coconut? Nothing, I say!!) I think i might add chopped almonds next time, just for fun :D

hi! Made this and it really tastes good
but it seemed to take forever to blend in my food processor and not sure it was quite the right consistency but i was worried i would burn out my motor if i did it for any longer could I ask you what make of food processor you use as mine is quite basic and am looking to buy a better one
could i use my vitamix instead or would that not work properly
thanks

First, I would like to thank you for your recipes. I have been eating raw living foods for many decades. Mostly fresh fruits and vegetables. I am interested in making some type of white chocolate bars. I have a few questions which I hope you will answer. Since I would like to use a sweetener that doesn't raise blood sugar can I substitute Lucuma and or Stevia for the sweetener? I can't seem to find any raw organically grown shredded coconut so can I use the flesh of a young Thai coconut instead? Can I use my Vita Mix Blender instead of a food processor? Can I use vanilla bean instead of extract? Can I put it in the fridge instead of the freezer? Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your response.

Raw white chocolate bars
Things have changed. I found raw shredded coconut at Erewhon from Traditional Organics. I ordered a Cuisinart food processor and received it. I need to know what blade you mean when you say process it.

Raw white chocolate bars
Super good! My boyfriend said they reminded him of white chocolate clif bars. Pretty impressive since it only has a few ingredients and clif bars have lots.

Hello Laura Jane
Just made your fabulous chili for my daughter and she loved it. I live in London so need to order the shredded coconut online as our supermarkets only stock the dessicated kind. Should I order sweetened or unsweetened? Bob's Red Mill is available on amazon uk - it's unsweetened. Would that work? Can't wait to make it - i've already bought the moulds...

Yes, you definitely want the unsweetened type! Bob's is good.

Hi!
Just curious if I already have coconut butter made that I can sub this in instead of the shredded coconut part (reduced by half ;))?
Love your site! x

Hi Claire! I wouldn't recommend subbing with coconut butter! :)

Hi Ruth! The bars will be too dry to do in a blender. :)

Raw white chocolate bars
Amazing texture, soft and creamy like white chocolate! I was afraid I'd OVER processed it as when I processed with maple syrup it came out very 'slippy'. But after being in the freezer it's just perfect!
I'm tempted to add more vanilla next time!
Thanks :-)
