Almost 4 years after your original post and I just now stumbled upon this! Made some this afternoon and it turned out SOOOO good! I had to try a chunk of it right away when it was frozen, of course, and now I don’t feel like eating any lunch. Will probably make myself a green smoothie or something small to get in some additional nutrients… but wow, I can’t believe coconut has such an awesome effect on appetite control! Excited to see the results after incorporating this before meals for a couple weeks.

Just what I was looking for! I was guessing that using the oil straight from the container (like soft butter) would work better but hadn’t tried yet. I experimented with 2 batches today-using my KA stand mixer instead of food processor-and had the same problem with batch 2-there was NO way to get the clumps of cocoa and honey to blend with the oil. I set the bowl in cold water and that just made it worse. I made 2 batches because I like peppermint and my husband doesn’t so I make it both ways. Maybe the mixer would still work using firmer oil and adding the honey after the rest has set up.

Oh wow-mini muffin pans, that might be just what I’m in need of! I’ve been making this recipe for a while now, but have been trying to get it evenly spread in the pan so that I can cut them into reasonably equal portions and now how much coconut oil I’m getting per serving. The problem I forsee is the oil separating while pouring. Still working on the best approach there.

Robin — I’m glad you got it to work! Yay! Your method is great in the summer, but not so great in the winter, though. It is hard to even scoop coconut oil with lower temperatures, it gets so solid.
