This two ingredient dark chocolate dipped coconut bite will satisfy your sweet tooth without making you feel guilty! It is the perfect after dinner treat!
I’m going to be completely honest with you. After almost two years of writing Hungry by Nature, I feel like I can just say this without you judging me. And I thank you for that.
This recipe (if you can even call it that!) was a total accident. *Gasp* I know!
Here’s the deal. I had originally intended on making chocolate tahini dipped watermelon slices as a fun summer dessert. Sounds good, right? Yea, you’re probably wishing I had made those instead… anyway, when I went to the grocery store last week, I couldn’t buy one.
Why, right?! Well it was really my own fault. I went to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s on my lunch break. They aren’t far from my office, but far enough that a…
bag of groceries + 5 blocks + Chicago summer + A WATERMELON = sweaty Ellie
But as I was making another recipe this week, I had leftover melted dark chocolate chips and knew I had to dip something in it. I pulled out my best TJ’s find for the week – Just Coconut Chunks – from the freezer and started dipping!
These have been such an easy treat to have after dinner. I always want something sweet at night. I think it is because my entire childhood was filled with ice cream after dinner. Literally. Every. Single. Night. And I’m 99% sure my body and brain are trained to need a little sweetness to end each night.
If I were to eat that much ice cream now, I would certainly be sick. But dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut? Oh hello, I’m your girl.
We’re heading up to a friend’s lake house for the weekend and I couldn’t be more excited! I hope you are having a great week and take some time to eat a sweet treat today!

Five years later, I have stumbled upon this recipe upon googling “frozen coconut chunk dessert recipe”. I too am an ice cream after dinner every night and I was honestly contemplating a trip to the grocery store to fulfill that craving, until I remembered I had frozen coconut chunks in the freezer! You saved me.
