Vegan Bounty Bars - Just 4 Ingredients!
Description
Vegan Bounty Bars - Just 4 Ingredients! relies on the natural richness of the solid portion of full-fat coconut milk, mixed with desiccated coconut and maple syrup to create a sweet, textured filling. After chilling to firm up, the coconut logs are dipped in melted dark or vegan milk chocolate to provide a contrasting smooth, sweet shell. This method yields bars with a fresh coconut flavor and a satisfying bite, blending creamy and chewy textures.
The preparation involves processing and chilling the coconut mixture before dipping in tempered chocolate, which sets to a crackly coating. These bars make a simple treat or snack, easy to serve once chilled, and best stored in the fridge for up to five days to maintain firmness.
Chilling the logs before dipping ensures easy handling and cleaner chocolate coverage. Using only the solid coconut milk prevents excess moisture from softening the bars, ensuring a denser texture rather than a soggy one. Melting chocolate gently avoids seizing, and cooling it slightly helps the coating adhere without running.
Ingredients
- 7 oz coconut 200 gr, desiccated shredded
- ¾ can coconut milk discard the watery part, full-fat
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 7 oz dark chocolate 200 gr, 70% organic, or vegan milk chocolate
Instructions
- In a food processor add desiccated coconut, coconut milk and maple syrup.
- Mix for 30 seconds or until combined, scraping down the mixture with a spatula if necessary.
- Shape the mixture into small logs and arrange them on a baking tray covered with parchment. Refrigerate for 1 hour in the fridge, or in the freezer for 10-15 min.
- In the meantime melt the chocolate in the microwave, or in a heat-proof bowl over a pan filled with simmering water. Once melted allow to cool slightly.
- Dip each bounty bar into melted chocolate and arrange on a cooling rack.
- Make sure you put some parchment paper beneath the rack to catch the chocolate in excess.
- Allow your bounty bars to set then serve.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Do not shake the coconut milk can; only use the solid part and discard the watery portion for best results.
- Chill the shaped coconut logs well before dipping to make coating easier and cleaner.
- Store the finished bars in the refrigerator; they keep for up to five days.
