Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
Step 3
Press the coconut mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Refrigerate the crust for about 10 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips with the almond milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Step 5
Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Step 6
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate has fully set and the bars are firm.
Step 7
Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares.
Step 8
Store the Dairy-Free Chocolate Coconut Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
