No Bake Chocolate Macaroons and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Review

This is the 3rd product I am reviewing for the COCOZIA. First two were coconut water and it was awesome so when I was asked about Extra virgin Coconut oil, I instantly said yes because I knew that this product will be awesome too. My son was little disappointed that this time we are not getting coconut water but somehow I made him understand so he is fine for now. About this product , it's 100% organic, unrefined, cold pressed Extra-Virgin Coconut oil. USDA certified and Kosher too. IT is free of pesticides, bleach , Hexane and Trans fats.

So When I got it I wanted to make something, not just review so I Made this No bake , hardly take five minutes Chocolate Macaroons. Its upto you how much cocoa powder you want to add, I don't like too much bitter so I just used 4 tbsp. But you can go upto 6 , don't add more otherwise it will be bitter.

You can find two reviews of coconut water here  and here.



You can order this from Amazon.com COCOZIA 100% Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, 16.9 fl oz Glass Jar at Amazon's Cooking & Baking Store, it comes in 16.9 Fl.oz. glass jar and cost just $18.99. Guys , if you love coconut oil why not to use Extra Virgin  and organic.

Ingredients :

1 mashed banana
1/4 cup Extra Virgin coconut Oil Melted
1/4 cup maple syrup (or you can use any liquid sweetener)
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes / powder

Method:

In a bowl, mashed the banana nicely so no lumps there. 
Add melted Extra Virgin Coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and mix it. 
Sift the cocoa powder and mixed it then add coconut and mix it nicely.
Get ready your baking dish with parchment paper on it. 
Take tablespoon and scoop round of it on parchment paper.


Put it in the fridge for 20 minutes until its nice and firm.
You have to keep this in fridge only because outside it will be soften. 



You can adjust maple syrup as per your liking , this is perfect with 4 tbsp. of cocoa powder, If you add more , add more maple syrup too. Enjoy your chocolate macaroons when you have sweet cravings without any guilt. 

Inspired from here.

I made no cook coconut ladoos also from this oil. and it taste yum and that's also without sugar, just added mashed banana , coconut oil and coconut powder.
