Welcome to healthy chocolate heaven! This raw chocolate ice box is filled with nutritious and delicious ingredients that will give you joy and energy throughout your day. Honestly, this recipe was one of those things that I could not live without the last 2 months. Reason being, I tried to cut out sugar from my diet. I know it is a bad habit, but I feel I need to treat myself to something sweet after a meal. When I eat a raw chocolate, it gives me the same satisfaction as any "normal" chocolate, yet without the guilty feelings, because it is not filled with refined sugar, but rather it enhances my health because it is high in Omega 3's and magnesium.

Coconut oil was once reviled because it is a saturated fat, but recent research suggest that virgin, non-hydrogenated coconut oil is actually heart-healthy. I use coconut oil in so many recipes. It is most certainly one of those must-have ingredients. Please note that coconut oil will be in liquid form when it is room temperature, but will be solid as soon as you but it in the fridge or freezer. I therefor make a batch of these delicious chocolates and then I freeze them and enjoy it whenever I feel like spoiling myself.

This is is an exceptionally rich, no-bake, raw tart. An absolute must try if you are passionate about health, but don't want to miss out on the "yummy stuff".
