Make Homemade Valentine Candy! Natural Fruit Flavored Coconut with Almonds

These eye catching candies are made with 100% all natural ingredients even down to the fruity flavors.

This coconut candy is similar to that of an Almond Joy but with more flavor and without the chocolate.

Feel good about making these candies using natural and tasty ingredients that include unsweetened desiccated coconut, coconut milk, coconut butter, maple syrup, a dash of salt and flavored with 100% pure freeze dried fruit powders.

The fruit powders are what give these treats their unique colors and wonderful flavors. They are quite eye catching don’t you agree?

Flavors Used

Some freeze dried fruit flavors used when making this recipe include red raspberry, cranberry, blueberry and maqui berry.

Natural Homemade Valentine Candy Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup light coconut milk (use the type in the can)
• 5 Tablespoons maple syrup
• 4 Tablespoons coconut butter
• Pinch salt
• 2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (make sure it is a dry coconut)
• 2 – 2 1/2 Tablespoons fruit powder of your choice (2 Tablespoon is sufficient but if you want a deeper color add and additional 1/2 Tablespoon).

Directions:

Pour coconut milk in saucepan with coconut butter, maple syrup and salt. Heat on low until slightly warm. Remove from heat.

Add coconut and stir to combine.

Using 1 Fruit Powder

Add 2 Tablespoons to coconut and fold in until well combined. For a darker color add and additional 1/2 Tablespoon.

Using 2 Fruit Powders

Divide coconut evenly in half and place in separate bowls. Fold in 1 Tablespoon of powder to each bowl. For a deeper color add an additional 1/2 Tablespoon. Fold until well combined.

Using 4 Fruit Powders

If you are using four fruit powders, like I did, I recommend making this recipe twice and follow the instructions for using 2 fruit powders.

Filling Molds

Fill molds half full.

Add roasted almonds (if desired).

Cover nuts with coconut flush with the mold.

Freeze

Once the molds are filled place in freezer until frozen.

Once frozen, remove from freezer and pop the coconut out of molds and place coconut bites in a freezer safe bowl and pop them back into the freezer until ready to dip in chocolate.

Continue filling molds until mixture is gone. You should be able to get around 48 pieces per recipe.

Molds

Although I was unable to locate the exact same molds that I used to make these heart shaped candies I was able to find a couple below that may work just fine.

Using silicone molds are very user friendly for this recipe. If you don’t use molds make balls instead.

Link to silicone heart molds

Maybe you don’t want silicone heart molds. That’s okay, I have created this link to silicone candy molds so you can maybe find the mold you would prefer to use when making these awesome candies.

Store these milk chocolate covered coconut almond treats in the freezer. Before serving allow to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
