Ingredients
- 8 ounces 225 g white chocolate chopped
- 1 cup 80 g desiccated or shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest from about 1-2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Zest and juice the lemon: Using a fine grater, zest only the yellow part of the peel. Avoid the white pith, which is bitter. Then, juice the lemon and set both aside.
- Chop the white chocolate: Break it into small, even pieces for smooth melting.
- Melt the white chocolate:
- Double boiler method: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (bowl shouldn't touch the water). Stir until melted.
- Microwave method: Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted.
- Mix it in: Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and stir in the lemon zest, juice, and coconut until well combined.
- Spread and chill:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the chocolate mixture onto the parchment and spread evenly (about ¼ inch thick).
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
- Break and enjoy!
- Remove the set bark from the refrigerator.
- Peel off the parchment paper and break into pieces of your desired size.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
