- Place desiccated coconut, dried cherries, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cherry red food colouring, and coconut oil into bowl. Mix 15sec/ speed 5 Place on top of chocolate layer (ensure chocolate is set otherwise it will not be proper layers of chocolate and coconut) Press firmly into tin and pop back into fridge to keep cool whilst making the top layer of chocolate.
- Top layer chocolate. Repeat Step 1 of making the chocolate again and spread over coconut mixture and pop back into fridge for as long as you can wait (I left mine 3 hours) Cut into slices carefully to try not to crack the chocolate and there you have it completely organic, additive free, soy free cherry ripe!

My baby girls love it and it is gone in a blink of an eye. I usually make two plates if we have guests. Only down side is that you have to wait for about 3 hours before you eat it.
I recommend that you use organic ingredients for making this delicious dessert. You can find all you need in online organic stores such as Organics on a budget. They are the ones who discovered this recipe and decided to share it with the world.
