Instructions

In a small pan over low heat, melt coconut oil, coconut cream, and cocoa butter (if using). When cool enough to handle, pour mixture in the blender and add flours, vanilla, lemon juice/zest. Add stevia to taste by adding drops (try 10 and taste, and increase if desired). Or use maple syrup instead, starting with 2 tablespoons and increasing to taste. Add shredded coconut and macadamia nuts. Pulse a few times to combine and lightly chop. 

Portion into bite-sized balls or press into a silicone mold and sprinkle with sea salt. Freeze until firm. Enjoy frozen or refrigerated.  (Recipeā™¦530)
