Ingredients:
- 170g (2 cups) Desiccated or Shredded Coconut, for the perfect texture.
- 200g (1¼ cups) Coconut Butter, or Creamed Coconut, for binding and richness (make sure it’s not coconut cream!).
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) Vegan Condensed Milk, or Pure Maple Syrup, to sweeten.
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Vanilla Bean Paste, or Vanilla Extract, for that aromatic flavor.
- A pinch of Sea Salt, about ¼ teaspoon, to balance the sweetness.
- 220g (8 oz) Vegan Chocolate, for the luxurious coating.
Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine the desiccated coconut, coconut butter, vegan condensed milk or maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt. Process until the mixture begins to clump together.
- Shape the mixture into 10 bars and set them on a parchment-lined tray. Pop them in the freezer for a solid chill.
- Gently melt the vegan chocolate in a double boiler, ensuring it doesn't come into direct contact with water to avoid seizing.
- Dip and coat the chilled coconut bars in the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
- If you're feeling extra indulgent, double-dip them for a thicker chocolate shell. Then, let them set in the freezer for a quick firm-up.
- For a finishing touch, drizzle with any remaining chocolate for a professional look.
