Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine unsweetened shredded coconut, pitaya cubes, maple syrup, and sea salt. Process until a dough-like consistency forms, about 1-2 minutes. Optionally, add beet juice and blend briefly.
- Transfer the mixture into the loaf pan and press down firmly. Alternatively, shape into bite-sized balls or bars. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until set.
- Prepare the dark chocolate coating in a double boiler until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid moisture entering the chocolate.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator, cut into pieces, and dip each piece into the melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Let the chocolate-covered treats sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to harden. Optionally refrigerate for quicker setting. Serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes
