Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut Ensures the bars are not overly sweet.
  • 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk About a 14 oz can.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Also known as confectioners' sugar.
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate Milk chocolate or semi-sweet, your choice.
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil Optional, for a smoother chocolate coating.

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Instructions
 

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar.
  3. Press the coconut mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  4. Lift the chilled coconut block from the pan and cut into 16 bars. Place the bars on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Melt the chocolate chips and optional coconut oil in a microwave in 30-second intervals or in a double boiler until smooth.
  6. Dip each frozen coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use two forks to handle the bars and let excess chocolate drip off.
  7. Place the coated bars back on the parchment paper and allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is hard.

Notes

Tip 1: Don't skip freezing the bars before dipping! This makes the chocolate coating process much cleaner and easier.
Tip 2: For best results, use good quality chocolate as it is a primary flavor in this recipe.
Tip 3: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
