Coconut-Chocolate Keto Bars
Servings: 10 bars
Print Recipe
This recipe is my take on the classical coconut-chocolate bars. If you like coconut and chocolate, then this little dessert should definitely be on your list. It’s low-carb, crunchy, loaded with coconut and chocolate, and super tasty.
Equipment
- Double Boiler
- Small Tray
Ingredients
Bottom Layer (Coconut)
- 50 g coconut butter
- 2 big tsp extra virgin coconut oil (big teaspoons)
- 70-80 g shredded coconut chips
Top Layer (Chocolate)
- 50-60 g cacao mass
- 50 g cacao butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- 1-2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
- pinch of Himalayan salt
- 2-3 tsp coconut sugar (optional)
Instructions
Bottom Layer (Coconut)
- Add all the ingredients for this layer into the double boiler.
- Slowly melt and combine these ingredients together. Your goal is to obtain a thick coconut paste.
- Once everything has combined into a coconut paste, pour into a glass or ceramic tray and place in the fridge to solidify a bit.
- First layer is done! Let’s work on the chocolate layer now.
Top Layer (Chocolate)
- Again, start by adding everything for this layer into a double boiler. Make sure not to overheat the ingredients.
- Once everything has combined into a liquid chocolate paste, remove from heat and set aside to cool down a bit.
- Let it cool down for a few minutes until it becomes thick almost like a spread (but not solid). It the paste becomes solid, just melt again for 30 seconds on the double boiler.
Assembling this Keto Bar
- Remove the coconut layer from the fridge. Make sure it does not become rock solid, but solid enough to support the chocolate layer. The chocolate, on the other hand, has to be thick like a cream (or spread). Your goal is to have the chocolate paste “stick” onto the coconut layer.
- Pour the chocolate paste on top of the coconut layer, spreading it evenly over the entire surface.
- Place the tray back in the fridge for a few hours to solidify,
- After a few hours (or when it has solidified) remove tray from the fridge and slowly cut into your desired kind of bars.
- Ta-daa!! These coconut-chocolate keto bars are delicious as dessert of a quick grab-and-go snack. Enjoy without guilt because these bars are healthy!
Notes
These coconut-chocolate bars require less time to solidify compared to treats made using berries or raisins.
They won’t melt quickly at room temperature as other fudgy desserts do.
If the coconut layer becomes rock solid, the chocolate paste won’t “stick” to it and will probably break loose when you’ll cut the bars. In this case, let the tray sit on the counter for half an hour before pouring the chocolate paste.
In case the chocolate paste has solidified, simply put it on the double boiler for 30 more seconds and it will magically become creamy again.
