15 Plant-Based Chocolate Coconut Treats

Chocolate and coconut may not be as popular as chocolate and vanilla or chocolate and caramel, but there’s no reason why that should be the case. From chocolate cream puffs to chocolate coconut granola to chocolate coconut truffles, this list will surely make you wonder why this rich and creamy combination is any less beloved. Enjoy!

A chocolate cream puff. Does it get any more decadent?! We like to make them bite-size so they are the perfect portion of rich, creamy, and oh-so-fluffy goodness. It’s hard to believe all that fanciness is the product of a very ordinary (accidentally vegan) canned biscuit. It can be our little secret. These Chocolate Coconut Cream Puffs With Coconut Whipped Cream by Katie Koteen & Kate Kasbee are spectacular!
