Instructions
1. Line a tray with baking paper set aside, Add the Coconut, Condensed milk and Milk powder to a bowl and mix well.
2. Form bars or balls whatever shape you like and place into freezer to firm up 30mins to an hour.
3. Melt chocolate and dip each bar into the chocolate and drip excess off, put on lined tray and pop back into the fridge till set.  Enjoy! =)

Vegan Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Calzone

I have to say these little babies are so delicious. After experimenting with flavors one morning and thinking how great it would be to make it a filling in a Calzone....Brilliant!!! The possibilities are endless to the fillings you can have in them but really, you must try this one.

Ingredients
1 pkt Fry's Rice Protein & Chia Stir Fry Strips Here!
1/2 head of Broccoli in Florette's
3/4 Tub of Tofutti Cream Cheese (at room temp)
1/2 Block Bio Cheese (or 2 cups of any vegan grated cheese)
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
3 Cloves of Garlic
2 tsp Vegetable Stock Powder
1 large Onion diced
Salt & Pepper 
Pizza Dough

Instruction
1. Pre-heat oven to 170C, Fry off the onion and garlic till translucent, Chop the strips into cubes.
2. In a bowl add all the ingredients for the filling and mix well adding the onion and garlic also  
3. It should be a crumbly mix instead of wet.
4. Cut dough in half or any size you want, roll out into a pizza shape trying to make the edge slightly thinner than the center as it will be crimped and doubled when closing them.
5. Add a good amount of the filling and take one edge and stretch it over the other side creating a half moon.
6. Press lightly around the filling to expel the air out and you should have about an inch of dough around the edge.
7. Crimp an edge binding the seam closed either using your finger or you can use a fork by pressing down along the edge to seal it closed.
8. Bake it till golden brown on top and bottom.  Enjoy!  =)
