Tasty and decadent Coconut Bites, made in the ActiFry Genius XL
Sponsored Post
Did you catch my last post – Mediterranean Vegetable Stir Fry cooked in the ActiFry? This week I’ve teamed up with Tefal to try out their ActiFry Genius XL. I love anything that can save me some time and stress in the kitchen so I was keen to test it out.
The ActiFry is renound for its versatility. From stir fries and chips to bolognese and curry, it can help you to cook up a whole host of dishes, even desserts; making it a real 360° experience.
To celebrate 360° cooking ActiFry are hosting a big event on Exmouth beach where the public will be treated to a free dinner and dessert. But this is no ordinary “sit down at the table” dinner. This meal will be served skyhigh on the world’s first ferris wheel restaurant!
To help give you a taster of the kinds of recipes that ActiFry will be serving up, I’m going to be cooking up two dishes from the menu; the second being these delicious Gourmet Coconut Bites.
ActiFry have a really useful app which you can download for free. Packed with lots of recipes it makes it really easy to get the most from your ActiFry machine.
The recipes are easy to follow, with the ingredients laid out clearly and step by step instructions.
The Coconut Bites were super easy to make, all the ingredients were mixed together in one bowl and then shaped into little quenelles and placed in the ActiFry.
The app tells you exactly what “Mode” to cook the recipe on and you simply leave it to cook on it’s own, allowing you to get on with something else. The rotating paddle helps to brown the food to perfection.
Once you are finished cooking, the removable bowl can be popped into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
Once cooked, the Coconut Bites can be served straight away or kept in an airtight container for a couple of days. They make a really delicious dessert, served up with some cream or a dip and are also so good as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
I’m now passing the 360° cooking board onto The Slimming Foodie so be sure to check out what delicious recipes she makes next in the ActiFry!
Disclosure: I have been compensated for my time spent working on this campaign with Tefal ActiFry but as always all thoughts and opinions are honest and are my own.

These are soooo tasty! I hadn’t even thought of doing dessert in the Actifry. We served ours with vanilla ice cream for a real treat dessert and I can’t wait to make them again.
