Ingredients in Toasted Coconut Clusters:
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut- any type of unsweetened shredded coconut will work! We’re giving it a quick toast in the oven, and it really helps elevate the flavor and adds a satisfying crunch to the candy.
Chocolate- use your favorite kind of chocolate here. I used dairy free semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk or dark chocolate as well.
Tools needed to make 2-Ingredient Coconut Clusters:
- Measuring cups
- Food processor– this is optional, but I like to break down my shredded coconut into smaller pieces
- Cookie sheet with parchment paper sheets to toast the coconut
- Glass bowl or double boiler to melt the chocolate
- Small cookie scoop, 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon, or a regular spoon
How to make 2-Ingredient Toasted Coconut Clusters:
Break down the coconut: This is an optional step. I use Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Shredded Coconut and I like to break it down into smaller pieces since it’s a bit “stringy”.
Place the coconut in a food processor and pulse until your desired consistency.
Toast the coconut: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut into an even layer onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes (or until golden), stirring every few minutes so it toasts evenly.
Make the coconut clusters: Melt the chocolate by your preferred method. Add the toasted coconut to the chocolate and mix together. Using a small cookie scoop, a spoon or a 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer to the fridge and chill for about 20 minutes, or until set.
These coconut clusters are a healthier alternative than the store bought ones which typically add extra sugar and butter.
Not typically, but these homemade ones can easily be vegan or dairy free. Just use your favorite vegan or dairy free chocolate.
Absolutely! Just use sugar free chocolate! You can use sugar free dark, milk or even white chocolate and they’d still taste great!
Yes! This recipe is so easy to double, triple or even quadruple- especially if these are for gifts or crowds! They keep very well so they’d be perfect gifts for holidays!
These coconut clusters will stay fresh for 2 weeks when refrigerated. You can also store them sealed in the freezer for up to 3 months.
