Ingredients

  • 2 cups Dessicated Coconut (160g) finely shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup Coconut Oil (55g)
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons Canned Coconut Cream (90ml)
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar (60g)
  • 10.5 ounces Vegan Dark Chocolate (300g) or 1 and ¾ cups chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Instructions

  • Add the dessicated 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.
  • Spray a loaf pan with non stick spray and line it with parchment paper so that there is an overhang on either side. Press the coconut mixture down flat into the loaf pan and place it into the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
  • Lift it out of the loaf pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut the coconut into 6 bars. Place the bars onto a parchment lined baking tray and return to the freezer until they are very firm and set.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces and place it into a microwave safe bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
  • Working quickly, dip each bar into the chocolate, and flip it over so that 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 use the remaining melted chocolate to drizzle chocolate over each of the bars. Return to the freezer to set properly for 10 minutes.
  • Keep any leftovers in the fridge and serve them cold directly from the fridge.
