For the Base

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, pitaya cubes, maple syrup, and sea salt. Blend until it forms a sticky, dough-like consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Shape the Treats: Transfer the dough into the loaf pan, pressing down firmly. You can also shape them into balls or bars. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Set up a double boiler. Add the dark chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Dip Treats: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut into shapes. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  5. Set the Treats: Place dipped treats on a parchment-lined tray. Let them set at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes or chill until the chocolate hardens, roughly 20-30 minutes.
  6. Serve: Let the treats sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to enhance texture and flavor.
