📌Optional: A pinch of sea salt flakes for finishing.

Equipment:

  • Microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler
  • Small saucepan (for toasting coconut, optional)
  • Baking paper or parchment paper
  • Small baking sheet or a flat dish
  • Spatula or spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Toast the Coconut (Optional but Recommended for Deeper Flavor)


✅Place the shredded coconut in a dry, small saucepan over medium-low heat.

✅Stir constantly for 2-5 minutes, or until the coconut turns light golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully as it can burn quickly!

✅Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare Your Work Surface


✅Line your baking sheet or flat dish with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking.

Step 3: Melt the White Chocolate

Method 1: Microwave



✅Place the white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.

✅Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. Continue until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat, as white chocolate can seize easily.

Method 2: Double Boiler



✅Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.

✅Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.

✅Add the white chocolate to the bowl and stir gently until completely melted and smooth.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients


✅Once the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth, stir in the toasted (or untoasted) shredded coconut and the roughly chopped macadamia nuts. Mix until everything is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.

Step 5: Spread and Chill


✅Pour the coconut and macadamia-infused white chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

✅Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly into your desired thickness and shape. Aim for a rectangular shape for a classic chocolate bar look.

✅Optional: Sprinkle a few sea salt flakes over the top for a delightful salty-sweet contrast.

✅Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and completely set.

Step 6: Break and Enjoy!


✅Once the chocolate is fully hardened, remove it from the refrigerator.

✅Carefully peel away the parchment paper.

✅Break the chocolate bar into pieces. You can either snap it along natural lines or use a sharp knife to cut it into neat squares or rectangles.

Tips for Chocolate Perfection:

📌Use Good Quality Chocolate: The better the quality of your white chocolate, the more delicious your final product will be.

📌Don't Overheat the Chocolate: Overheated white chocolate can become grainy and difficult to work with. Melt it slowly and gently.

📌Customize Your Nuts: Feel free to experiment with other nuts like almonds or cashews if you prefer.

📌Add Extracts: A drop of coconut extract can intensify the coconut flavor.

📌Get Creative with Shapes: Use silicone molds in fun shapes for a unique presentation.
