Ingredients
- 1 stick 8 Tbsp, unsalted butter, at room temp
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup coconut flour you can substitute regular flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 14 oz (2 bags) sweetened coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- whole almonds
- 12 oz bittersweet baking chocolate squares roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp shortening Crisco
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- Line a 9x12 baking dish with foil that hangs over the edge (for easy removal and cutting) and spray with cooking spray.
- To make the crust blend the butter and sugar with the flours in a bowl using your fingers until the butter is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is crumbly. Work it for several minutes so that there is no loose flour left.
- Press the crust onto the bottom of the pan, using the back of a measuring cup to press it firmly and evenly. Bake for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl mix together the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla. Spoon the mixture over the crust and spread out gently so you don't disturb the crust too much.
- Press almonds lightly onto the surface of the coconut and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Put the chocolate and the shortening in a glass measuring cup. Heat it in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until it is just melted. Stir until smooth. Don't over heat.
- Working quickly, pour the chocolate over the coconut, spreading it out smoothly. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares.
