Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup coconut condensed milk
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, coconut condensed milk, and confectioners sugar and mix until a thick dough remains.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined pan. Using lightly wet hands, press down on top to smooth it out.
- Refrigerate the coconut bars for at least an hour to firm up. Once firm, use a sharp knife to slice into bars.
Notes
- Make them sugar-free: Use sugar-free condensed milk and powdered sugar substitute.
- Top the bars: with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey for more flavor.
- Add a graham cracker crust layer: For added texture and flavor, combine graham cracker crumbs, coconut oil, and light brown sugar. Mix until you achieve a sandy texture, then add this as your base layer for the bars.
- Add mix-ins: Add crushed walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips into the bar batter for added crunch.
