On a low heat, add the coconut oil, cacao melts and honey into a saucepan and stir continuously until the ingredients have completely melted.

Remove from heat. Scoop the cream layer from the coconut cream (don’t use the liquid) and stir in thoroughly.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and place in the fridge to thicken. Stir occasionally. If the mixture becomes too firm, remove from the fridge and continue to stir occasionally.
