Recipe Notes
- You must use thick coconut cream otherwise you will have too much liquid in the mixture which will not set. It is best to delay the process if necessary but chill the can of coconut cream and then use only the thickened coconut cream
- Ensure the desiccated coconut is fine no big coconut pieces and the chocolate is all melted. Pieces of chocolate or big coconut pieces will not give a smooth texture.
- Always melt chocolate at low heat and in a short burst to prevent the chocolate. And, make sure no water or condensation gets into the chocolate. Any one of these will situations can make the chocolate grainy or seize. Read my tips for melting and working with chocolate
