Description

Make these simple, creamy coconut bars with three distinct layers. This no-bake recipe sets in the refrigerator and is perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 2 tablespoon soft coconut oil
  • 2–3 Medjool dates, pits removed
  • ⅜ teaspoon pink salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk with cream (full fat, not light)
  • 2 tablespoon softened coconut oil
  • 1–½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3–½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon pink salt
  • 3 tablespoon melted refined coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 2–3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • A couple of pinches of pink salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all bottom layer ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the mixture sticks together. Add a third date if the mixture is not sticky enough.
  2. Press the base mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×7 inch pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup.
  3. For the middle layer, spoon one cup of full-fat coconut milk into a clean food processor. Add the remaining middle layer ingredients and blend until all ingredients are incorporated.
  4. Spread the middle layer mixture evenly over the bottom layer in the pan.
  5. Melt the coconut oil for the topping and place it in a small bowl. Whisk in the cacao powder, maple syrup, and salt until smooth.
  6. Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the middle layer.
  7. Refrigerate for one to two hours until all layers are firm.
  8. Before serving, let the bars sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier cutting.

Notes

  • When using a food processor for the base, add dry ingredients first for best results.
  • Ensure you use the thick cream and milk portion from the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk for the middle layer.
