INGREDIENTS
2 cups coconut flakes
2 cups coconut cream
1 cup butter or heavy whipping cream ((or dairy free substitute))
3/4 cup raw honey ((regular honey is also fine))

1 tspn real vanilla extract ((optional))
1 cup grass-fed butter ((or coconut oil, or preferred neutral tasting fat))
1/2 cup raw honey

INSTRUCTIONS
COCONUT LAYER
First, make the coconut layer by mixing 2 cups coconut flakes and 2 cups coconut cream. Put the 9×13 pan with the coconut layer in the freezer while making the caramel layer to quickly harden the coconut.
CARAMEL LAYER
Second, make the caramel layer. Use this homemade caramel candy recipe for detailed recipe notes, if needed. If the coconut layer is already frozen, the caramel will quickly harden as you pour it over the coconut layer.
In a small saucepan over medium- high heat whisk together the butter or cream and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil and allow to bubble for 3 minutes before lowering the heat to medium-low.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir to avoid burning.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Pour caramel sauce over the coconut layer. The caramel will thicken as it cools.
Sprinkle sea salt over the caramel (optional) for a sweet/salty flavor.
Place in the freezer to cool and harden more quickly (5 minutes).
CHOCOLATE LAYER
Third, make the chocolate layer, using this 3 ingredient chocolate fudge recipe. Freeze one more time for about 5 minutes to quickly harden the chocolate.
In a saucepan on medium heat, melt butter and honey together.
Stir in cacao powder.
Pour chocolate over caramel layer.
Place pan in freezer to cool and harden chocolate more quickly (5 minutes).
