Equipment
- Food Processor
- Mixing Bowl
- Blender
Ingredients
- 7 oz sugar-free chocolate Can also use 90% dark chocolate or 100% unsweetened chocolate.
- 1 cup desiccated coconut Use unsweetened coconut for best results.
- 3 tablespoon coconut cream Chill a can of coconut milk to separate the cream.
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil Helps in binding and adds richness.
- 1-2 tablespoon allulose Or sweetener of choice to adjust sweetness.
Instructions
- Start by melting half of the chocolate. I prefer to do this in a pot over low heat, but a microwave works just as well. If you’re using unsweetened chocolate, sweeten it with drops of stevia once it cools down to a lukewarm temperature. Aim for about 12 drops per 100g of chocolate.
- Prepare a small casserole dish (about 10x7 inches) by lining it with parchment paper. This makes removing the bars much easier later. Pour the melted chocolate into the dish and spread it evenly across the bottom.
- Now, place the dish in the fridge or freezer to harden for about 5 to 15 minutes. While it sets, you can prepare the filling.
- For the filling, combine the desiccated coconut, coconut cream, coconut oil, and allulose in a food processor. Blend it until the mixture is soft and sticky, which should take around 2 minutes. If you don’t have a food processor, an immersion blender in a tall mixing bowl works too!
- Once the chocolate base is set, spread the coconut filling over it, pressing it down firmly. I often find that using only half of the filling gives a nice chocolate-to-coconut balance, but feel free to use more if you want it more coconutty!
- Next, melt the remaining half of the chocolate and pour it over the coconut filling, ensuring it covers it entirely. If you like, sprinkle some shredded coconut on top for added texture and decoration.
- Return the dish to the fridge and let it cool until fully set, usually another 5 to 15 minutes. Once solid, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 15 to 20 pieces, depending on your preferred size.
Notes
- Tip 1: Each bar contains 0.8g of net carbs, making them a fantastic option for those following a keto diet.
- Tip 2: Store your bars in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Tip 3: Yes, you can freeze these bars! Wrap them individually and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
- Tip 4: Experiment with different sweeteners or add a dash of coconut extract to enhance the coconut flavor.
- Tip 5: A warm cup of coffee or herbal tea complements the rich chocolate flavor perfectly.
