Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week.

Today's Myracle Kitchen Chocolate Coconut Bytes were a product of Sri Lanka and distributed by Nurture Brands LLC (Larchmont, NY). (Certified B Corp.)

Aroma and flavor notes for these light, petite disc-shaped treats included: sweet coconut and cocoa.

The perfectly light and crunchy texture of these "byte" sized pieces easy to eat (and somewhat addictive). And the balanced flavors (sweet, authentic coconut accented with cocoa) were appealing as well. 

Ingredients: Organic coconut, organic coconut sugar, organic coconut nectar, organic cocoa powder, organic tapioca starch, sea salt.  

Allergen-related information: Contains coconut. Made at a facility that also processes milk and sesame. ("Organic, Gluten free, no dairy ingredients")

Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week. 

Today's Dark Chocolate Dairy-Free Chocolate frozen dessert made with Organic Coconut milk was created by Koolfi Creamery (San Leandro, CA).

The company is a local (San Francisco Bay Area), small batch frozen dessert maker (ice creams and vegan/dairy free (coconut milk-based frozen desserts), that offers a variety of India-inspired flavors (mango lassi, kheer rice pudding, cardamom, kulfi, and many more).

Aroma and flavor notes for this Dark Chocolate vegan frozen dessert included: dark cocoa (powder), and it had both a smooth texture and a very slight graininess.* 

Ingredients: Organic coconut milk (coconut, water), organic brown rice syrup, sugar, maltodextrin, Dutch processed cocoa powder, chocolate (cacao beans, sugar, sunflower lecithin, vanilla), dextrose, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, Himalayan pink salt

Allergen-related information: "Coconut. Product is made on equipment that processes milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy"

*It was not clear whether this batch may have acquired this slight graininess from the ingredients (cocoa powder?), or whether it was process, storage or transport related, e.g. a slight melting and re-freezing again before I bought it. The other (five) ice cream flavors I've tried from this same company (all very good, none with cocoa powder/chocolate) were creamy and smooth and did not have this textural characteristic.
