A delicious keto treat which is perfect for summer! This coconut raspberry slice has the fresh flavors of coconut and raspberry on a crunchy biscuit base – all topped with a crisp layer of dark chocolate! It feels very indulgent but comes in at under 4 net carbs a slice. The high fat content will leave you satisfied and the natural sweetness of the coconut and raspberry shines through so it’s a great sweet treat.

This is one of those recipes that is great if you are busy, because during the assembly each layer has to set before you can add the next. You are free to go off and do other things! If you are really pushed for time you can even make it over a number of days, just leave in the freezer until you add the next layer.

You can store the finished slices in the freezer as well. They are so are great if you don’t like to eat desserts too often or need to remove temptation for eating them all too quickly! Just take out one at a time then allow to defrost at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. With these slices you have got a great supply of keto treats on standby for when you fancy one or to whip out when guests come over.

Yields 20 servings of Coconut Raspberry Slice

The Preparation

For the biscuit layer:

2 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 large egg

For the coconut layer:

1 cup canned coconut milk
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup erythritol, powdered
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
salt, to taste

For the raspberry layer:

1 cup raspberries
1 teaspoon erythritol, powdered
3 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons water

For the chocolate layer:

4 ounces low-carb dark chocolate

The Execution

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine all the biscuit layer ingredients in a bowl and mix until a dough forms.

2. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish or brownie pan with parchment paper. Evenly press the biscuit dough into the dish to form the base. Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Allow to cool.

3. Make the raspberry layer by adding all the ingredients into a small pan and stir over a low heat. Break up the raspberries as they cook so a jam forms. Keep stirring for around 5 minutes, until thickened. Allow to cool.

4. On a medium heat mix the coconut milk and coconut oil until combined.

5. Mix all of the remaining ingredients for the coconut layer together. Add the coconut milk and oil mixture to the dry ingredients and combine well.

6. Add the coconut mixture to your cooled biscuit base and spread evenly. Place in the freezer until set (around 1 hour). Once the coconut layer is hard, spread the raspberry layer over the top of it and return to the freezer to set (around 1 hour).

7. Break the chocolate bar into small pieces, then place in a suitable bowl and melt in the microwave (around 3 minutes). Pour the chocolate onto the raspberry layer and return to the freezer to set.

8. Remove from the freezer after around 30 minutes before serving (this makes it easier to cut). The slices can be stored in the fridge for around a week or in the freezer for around 3 months – if they last that long!
