PART 1: INGREDIENTS

1. Coconut filling

• 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup coconut cream (thick part from a can of coconut milk)
• 3 to 4 tablespoons powdered erythritol or another keto sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• Pinch of salt

---

2. Chocolate coating

• 150 g sugar-free dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa or keto-friendly chocolate)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (helps make coating smooth and snappy)
• Optional: 1 tablespoon cocoa butter (for extra shine and firmness)

---

PART 2: PREPARING THE COCONUT FILLING

Step 1: Mix dry coconut base

In a mixing bowl:

• Add shredded coconut
• Add powdered erythritol
• Add a pinch of salt

Mix well so sweetener is evenly distributed.

---

Step 2: Add wet ingredients

Add:

• Coconut cream
• Melted coconut oil
• Vanilla extract

Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky and moldable.

Why:
The mixture should hold shape when pressed. If it is too dry, add a little more coconut cream.

---

Step 3: Shape the bars

1. Line a tray with parchment paper
2. Take small portions of mixture
3. Shape into rectangular bars or small logs

Press firmly so they stay compact.

---

Step 4: Chill

Place tray in refrigerator for:

• 1 to 2 hours

Or freezer for:

• 30 to 40 minutes

Why:
Chilling firms up the coconut filling so it doesn’t break during coating.

---

PART 3: PREPARING CHOCOLATE COATING

Step 5: Melt chocolate

In a heatproof bowl:

• Add sugar-free chocolate
• Add coconut oil

Melt using microwave in short bursts or a double boiler.

Stir until smooth and glossy.

---

Step 6: Adjust consistency

Chocolate should be:

• Smooth
• Slightly runny
• Easy to coat

If too thick, add a little more coconut oil.

---

PART 4: COATING THE BARS

Step 7: Dip bars

1. Remove coconut bars from fridge
2. Dip each bar into melted chocolate
3. Use fork or spoon to coat evenly
4. Let excess chocolate drip off

---

Step 8: Set on tray

• Place coated bars on parchment paper
• Repeat until all bars are coated

---

Step 9: Optional second coating

For thicker chocolate shell:

• Chill first layer for 10 minutes
• Dip again in chocolate

---

PART 5: SETTING AND CHILLING

Step 10: Refrigerate

Place coated bars in fridge for:

• 1 to 2 hours

Or freezer for:

• 20–30 minutes

Chocolate will harden and become crisp.

---

PART 6: SERVING

Step 11: Serve cold

Serve directly from fridge for best texture.

Best served:

• As a snack
