Keto Chocolate Coconut Bars
How to make easy and delicious chocolate coconut bars
Ingredients
Coconut filling:
- 2 1/2 cup Shredded Coconuts
- 3 tbsp Sugar Substitute
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 tbsp Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Chocolate:
- 1/2 cup Cacao Butter or unsweetened diet chocolate bar
- 3 tbsp Unsweetened Cacao Powder
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 2 tbsp Sugar Substitute
Instructions
- We will first prepare our condensed milk. In a pot, add the heavy cream, coconut milk, butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract and bring them over medium-heat. Stir until they get to a boil, then lower the heat and continue stirring for 30-40 minutes.
- Then bring the condensed milk off the heat, and add the shredded coconut.
- Now begin folding the coconut into the condensed milk until they are well mixed. For a smoother texture, you can also grind some of the shredded coconuts into fine pieces, and also fold them into the mix.
- In a container, add a parchment paper so itʼs easy to lift the batter out.
- Then add the batter over the parchment sheet and gently spread it out.
- When you spread it out, the texture is supposed to be thick and not too thin in order to get the perfect coconut bar consistency.
- Tightly cover the container and leave it to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or you can even leave it until the next day.
- While the coconut filling is chilling, letʼs make the chocolate dip. In a bowl, melt cacao butter and add sugar substitute, butter, cacao powder, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, and mix.
- The amount of sugar substitute is up to you, you can either use same amount I used or more or less; it really depends on how sweet you want the final product to be.
- In case there is no cacao butter available, itʼs totally fine, you can substitute it for a melted ready made unsweetened diet chocolate bar.
- Mix everything really well for a smooth consistency. If the mixture gets too thick, you can melt it for a few seconds in the microwave.
- Once the coconut bar in the fridge has chilled and maintained its shape, take it out and begin slicing it into your desired bar sizes. Then gently and carefully dip each bar into the chocolate dip and place it on a tray lined with parchment paper and let them chill in the fridge before serving!
