Even the classic desserts can all be taken to another level with a touch of something different, and in this case, we’re using coconut to make the magic happen.
Check out these three mouth-watering desserts made with the addition of our delicious coconut oils.

For the chocolate and honey drizzle
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- ½ cup of water

Method
Mix the flour, cornflour, baking powder, cocoa, mixed spice, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the coconut milk, coconut oil and egg yolks and whisk until smooth.
Place the egg whites in a medium bowl and beat until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the flour mixture to combine.

Transform your desserts with our range of coconut oils, bringing simple recipes to life.

It is the perfect alternative for butter in many recipes, usually a healthier and tastier option, and can be used in all types of cooking, especially frying, baking, and sautéing.
Considered by many nutritionists to be a “superfood”, coconut oil is not only delicious to cook with, but comes with a wide range of health benefits.
Natural Liquid Coconut Oil was the first of its kind in the world, with a handy “pop up” pour nozzle attached to the bottle capturing all the nutritional goodness from coconuts in a convenient liquid form.
