The good folks at Kelapo Coconut Oil offered an opportunity to review some of their wonderful product. I love Virgin Coconut Oil. It smells so good and has such a nice flavor. I have used the processed stuff made by other companies and frankly, if I am going to use coconut oil, I want the flavor and aroma to go with it. They also included two capsules of their oil. I broke them open and used them as a lip balm for a week. What a great way to soften chapped lips!! You can find all sorts of recipes on their blog.
I, however, went with a recipe of my own. I decided to make a refreshing cold dessert with the oil. Coconut just screams for chocolate, so the idea for a mounds candy bar like dish was the direction I took. This dessert has a fudgy brownie layer on the bottom and a cream cheese/whipped cream combo for the top. Add a little chocolate syrup and toasted coconut and Voila! An amazing dessert was born.
Of course, it didn’t cut as pretty as I’d have liked.
