Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (240g) shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1 cup (240ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
  • Optional: ½ cup (40g) flaked coconut (unsweetened) for sprinkling
  • Optional: ½ cup (60g) chopped almonds or pecans

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly coated and sticky. Add more condensed milk if too dry.
  3. Press the coconut mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. Chill the coconut layer in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Melt the chocolate with coconut oil or butter using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the chilled coconut base and spread with a spatula. Sprinkle flaked coconut or chopped nuts on top if desired.
  7. Return the pan to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until the chocolate is completely set.
  8. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares with a knife warmed under hot water for clean edges.

Notes

Use sweetened shredded coconut for moist bars or unsweetened with extra condensed milk to control sugar. Chill the coconut layer before coating with chocolate to ensure the chocolate sets properly. Warm the knife before cutting for clean edges. Store bars refrigerated or freeze for longer storage.
