- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut butter, grated lime peel, lime juice, honey, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and salt and whisk until well combined. The hot coconut oil should soften the coconut butter, but if the coconut butter remains lumpy, microwave the mixture for 20 seconds and whisk again until a smooth paste is formed.
- For Raspberry Melties, place one raspberry in each mini-muffin cup and then cover it with slightly less than 1 tablespoon of the meltie base.
- For Green Tea Lime Melties, whisk the green tea powder into the meltie base mixture and scoop slightly less than 1 tablespoon into each mini-muffin cup.
- Garnish the melties (both kinds) with grated lime peel.
- Place in the freezer for 20 minutes or until hardened. Serve chilled.
Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
*Modifications Anti-Candida: Replace the honey with six drops of stevia.
Low FODMAP: Replace the honey with coconut nectar or Grade B maple syrup.
