Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut cream, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well-blended and holds together when pressed.
  2. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the coconut mixture evenly into the dish. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
  3. Once the mixture is firm, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Cut the coconut mixture into bars and dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place on a wire rack or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the coated bars for another 30 minutes until the chocolate is set.

Chef’s Tips

  • Use fine shredded coconut for a smoother texture.
  • Substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
