Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine unsweetened shredded coconut, pitaya cubes, maple syrup, and sea salt. Blend until a dough-like consistency is achieved, about 1-2 minutes. Add beet juice if desired and blend again until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to firm up.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by filling a double boiler with water and heating over low. Add dark chocolate to the top part and stir until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cut the chilled dough into bars or roll into balls. Dip each treat into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing on parchment paper.
- Let the dipped treats sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden the chocolate.
- Once set, remove the treats from the parchment and let them sit for another 15 minutes before serving.
