Just had a massive clear out of my dry food/ baking drawer and have this lot that i need to use up as they’re at their use-by date. Any ideas of things I can make that include the below? Doesn’t have to be only these things, but bonus points for suggestions that use up as much of it as possible and make things that can be put in freezer.
Approx 75g coconut sugar
400g creamed coconut
Approx 150g coconut flakes/chips
300g chopped hazelnuts
50g dried cranberries
100g flaked almonds
Nearly 200g dark chocolate chunks (not very good quality chocolate - ie not nice enough to just scoff on their own)
300g chia seeds

Coconut cheesecake ? With chocolate topping?
And hazelnut, cranberry and almond flapjack?

The only thing you really should use is the nuts and that is because after a while they get stale and will taste so.. .. all the rest will last for pretty much ever.

Some rocky road with lots of extras added in.

I keep my creamed coconut in the fridge , but only so that it stays hard.

Yum!

If you had some dates and oats or possibly some coconut oil to bind it, you could blitz everything and make granola bars using the coconut sugar, coconut flaks, hazelnut, cranberries, almonds and choc chunks and chia.

Hummingbird do a lovely cranberry and lemon cupcake recipe and a chocolate caramel & hazelnut cheesecake recipe (made it for DH's birthday one year and he near on ate the whole thing himself)

The coconut products would be lovely in rice with a (Thai) curry. Could use the almonds in there too.

Energy balls? Add some peanut butter, mix well, form into little balls, coat in coconut flakes. Done!

You could make some raw cereal bar type things. You would need something to stick it together though, like dates, honey, peanut butter or mashed banana. Just blend it all up in a processor, spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment and then leave to set in fridge

Breakfast bars?

Add oats and some condensed milk.

I've made there loads of times varying the recipe depending what nuts/seeds/dried fruit I have in stock.

Rocky road - put everything except creamed coconut in. Then make spicy sweet potato soup with the creamed coconut. Yum.

Cookies. Make the dough, cut/shape the cookies and freeze uncooked. Take out of freezer as and when required and bake

BrieAndChilli · 02/04/2018 21:11

Some sort of flapjack??

Great suggestions! Thanks...
Alas I don’t have a food processor, so I think energy-ball-type things and bars will be a bit tricky. I do have a nutribullet though. Maybe I can use that...
