Instructions
- For coconut almond base:
- For coconut cream centre:
- In a bowl, combine all coconut cream centre ingredients and mix well. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
- Transfer the coconut cream mixture onto the firmed coconut almond base.
- Smooth out the coconut cream mixture with a spoon or spatula until the top is smooth and level.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- For chocolate shell:
- In a dry bowl, combine all chocolate shell ingredients. Ensure the bowl and utensils are completely dry to prevent the mixture from splitting.
- Mix well until smooth and melted chocolate consistency is achieved.
- Assembly:
- Remove the firm coconut bar block from the refrigerator and baking tray. Cut into evenly sized pieces/bars.
- Position a wire rack over a baking tray or rimmed plate, and place the coconut bars on the rack.
- Pour the chocolate shell mixture over the coconut bars, allowing excess chocolate to drip onto the tray or plate.
- Place the chocolate-covered coconut bars on a plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely set.
- Storage:
- Store chocolate-covered coconut bars in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for 3–4 weeks.
Notes
- To ensure even setting, use a shallow baking dish for the base layer.
- For a richer chocolate shell, use dark cocoa powder instead of unsweetened.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut milk to thin it out.
