Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line a baking dish or a square mold with parchment paper to allow easy removal of the bars once set.
- Transfer Mixture: Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly and pressing down gently to compact the layers.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper edges, then cut into desired bar sizes. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, tropical flavor.
Notes
- For an extra crunchy texture, lightly toast the shredded coconut before mixing.
- Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To make these bars vegan, substitute sweetened condensed milk with a coconut condensed milk alternative.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before refrigerating for a salty-sweet contrast.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier bar.
