Ingredients

  • ? - 1/2 cups (118 ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) dessicated coconut
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) creamed coconut

  • 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. For coconut almond base:
  2. For coconut cream centre:
  3. In a bowl, combine all coconut cream centre ingredients and mix well. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
  4. Transfer the coconut cream mixture onto the firmed coconut almond base.
  5. Smooth out the coconut cream mixture with a spoon or spatula until the top is smooth and level.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. For chocolate shell:
  8. In a dry bowl, combine all chocolate shell ingredients. Ensure the bowl and utensils are completely dry to prevent the mixture from splitting.
  9. Mix well until smooth and melted chocolate consistency is achieved.
  10. Assembly:
  11. Remove the firm coconut bar block from the refrigerator and baking tray. Cut into evenly sized pieces/bars.
  12. Position a wire rack over a baking tray or rimmed plate, and place the coconut bars on the rack.
  13. Pour the chocolate shell mixture over the coconut bars, allowing excess chocolate to drip onto the tray or plate.
  14. Place the chocolate-covered coconut bars on a plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  15. Storage:
  16. 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.
