Chocolate Coconut Bars 🥥

INGREDIENTS

2 cups (160g) Dried (Dessicated) Coconut

1/4 cup Coconut Oil

1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp (90ml) Coconut Cream

1/2 cup (60g) Powdered (Icing) Sugar

10.5oz (300g) Vegan Dark Chocolate

1 tsp Coconut Oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the dried coconut, coconut oil, coconut cream and powdered sugar to the food processor and process together until well mixed. The mixture should stick together when you roll it into a ball.

2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and press the coconut mixture down flat into the loaf pan. Place into the freezer for 20 minutes to set. Lift out the parchment paper and cut the coconut into 6 bars. Place the bars onto a parchment lined baking tray and return to the freezer while you melt your chocolate.

3. Break the chocolate into pieces and then place into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth. Add 1 tsp coconut oil to make the chocolate a little thinner and easier to work with.

4. Working quickly, dip each bar into the chocolate, and flip it over so it’s completely covered in chocolate on both sides and then quickly return it to the parchment lined baking tray. Repeat for all six bars. Return the tray to the freezer for 5 minutes so the chocolate can set a little. Bring out the tray and then using remaining melted chocolate, drizzle chocolate over each of the bars. Return to the freezer to set properly for 10 minutes.

5. Keep any leftovers in the fridge and serve them cold directly from the fridge.
