Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whipped coconut cream*
• 2.5 tsp maple syrup add more if you want it to be sweeter
• Dash salt
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Put coconut cream in a bowl with the maple syrup, salt and vanilla and whip with a hand mixer or whisk. You can taste this coconut cream to determine if it's sweet enough or if it needs more maple syrup.
2. Put the mixture in a loaf pan lined with wax paper. Sprinkle chopped pecans and shredded coconut over it and put in the freezer. Allow it to harden, then cut into smaller pieces to serve.

Recipe Notes

• To make whipped coconut cream refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight. This will separate the coconut cream from the milk. Scoop out the cream from the top. This is coconut cream.
• You can also buy cans of just coconut cream. Whip it with a hand mixer or a whisk.
