Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Coconut Filling

In a large bowl, combine 200 grams (7 ounces) of sweetened shredded coconut, 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of condensed milk, 50 grams (1.75 ounces) of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.

Step 2

Shape the Coconut Mixture

Using your hands, take small portions of the coconut mixture and roll them into bite-sized bars. Aim for about 25 grams (0.9 ounces) each.

Place the shaped bars on a lined baking tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.

Step 3

Prepare the Chocolate Coating

While the coconut bars are chilling, melt 200 grams (7 ounces) of dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth.

Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly before using.

Step 4

Coat the Coconut Bars

Remove the coconut bars from the refrigerator. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.

Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the bars back on the lined baking tray. Repeat until all bars are coated.

Step 5

Set and Serve

Refrigerate the coated bars for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly.

Once set, your homemade Bounty bars are ready to enjoy. Serve them chilled and delight in their rich flavor!

Servings

When it comes to serving your exquisite pastries, the possibilities are endless! Picture this: a cozy afternoon tea with your friends, where each pastry is carefully arranged on an elegant platter. You can pair a zesty orange chocolate pastry with a cup of aromatic tea or enjoy a classic honey cake with some freshly brewed coffee.

Another delightful option is to set up a dessert bar for a gathering. Offer a selection of pastries alongside various toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruits, and chocolate drizzle. Your guests will certainly indulge in the variety! 🍰

✨ And we can’t forget about festive occasions. A beautiful cake stand displaying an array of pastries can become the centerpiece of any celebration! 🎉 After all, sharing sweet moments is what truly brings us together.
