Delicious and easy-to-make Coconut Bars combining shredded coconut, coconut condensed milk, and confectioners sugar for a sweet, chewy treat perfect for a quick dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2/3 cup coconut condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the bars after chilling.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut condensed milk, and confectioners sugar. Mix thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
  3. Press Mixture: Transfer the coconut dough into the lined pan. Using lightly wet hands, press down firmly and evenly to smooth out the surface.
  4. Chill Bars: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up properly.
  5. Slice and Serve: Once firm, remove from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Use lightly wet hands or utensils to press the mixture to prevent sticking.
  • The bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt.
  • If coconut condensed milk is not available, a mixture of coconut cream and a sweetener can be substituted, though texture may vary.
