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