Sugar free bounty

When I tried Sugarfree Bounty cake on one of my friend's dinner parties I couldn't believe how tasty, sweet and delicious this cake was despite the lack of sugar.

I had to try to make this delicious tropical yumminess myself and because I wanted to create something I can have as a sweet treat now and then, instead of cake tin I used a baking tray and cut it into small bite-size portions. Believe me, once you start you won't be able to stop yourself at one piece, so smaller they will be, the better chance you have not to overeat.

Bounty cake/slices/bites are very simple to make, and they contain only a few ingredients like coconut, chocolate, almonds, eggs and stevia, hence the sugar-free.

Did you know…

Coconut is a delicious and nutritious source of fibre, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It has tons of calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as plenty of electrolytes.

Bounty bites are a gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free version of traditional bounty slices.

I used stevia as a sweetener, but you can go 100% sugar-free and do not use any its form at all.
