Chocolate + Coconut = Paradise

“Kärleksmums”, “Snoddas” or just simply No Bake Brownie with Coconut! Today I was inspired by one of Sweden’s most loved and made desserts “Kärleksmums”/ “Snoddas” and made a simple no bake version of it. It’s vegan , sugar free and slightly more “healthy” in terms of no consisting of anything refined. This is the perfect treat to serve when you want a small bite of something rich, chocolatey with a nice balance of coconut.

What is “Kärleksmums”?

Kärleksmums literally means “love yummies”” (doesn’t make any sense) and it is a baked soft fluffy brownie or cake with a chocolate glaze and coconut flakes. My mom used to make this dessert all the time when we were kids since it was simple to make and yet so delicious. Today I’m making a no bake version which is vegan, gluten free and sugar free too. It’s a lot softer and moister too then original version, and in general just delicious!
