These bounty bars are one of our favourite raw treats. They’re super easy to make - you don’t need a food processor or blender, just a bowl! Creamy and moist on the inside, smooth dark chocolate on the outside – they really are the taste of paradise!
Makes 10 bars
ingredients
Coconut Filling
- 2 cups (200g) Fine Desiccated Coconut
- ⅓ cup (80ml) Coconut Paste
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- ⅓ cup (80ml) coconut cream
- 2 tbsp Coconut Nectar (or Agave Syrup Light)
Chocolate Coating
- 2 blocks (160g) 85% Dark Chocolate
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp Fine Desiccated Coconut
method
- Step 1 :Place desiccated coconut, coconut paste and coconut oil into a bowl. Use your fingers to rub mixture together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the coconut cream and coconut nectar.
- Step 2 :Line a 15cm x 15cm container or tin with plastic wrap and lightly press the mixture into the container until it’s 2 cm thick. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
- Step 3 :Remove from freezer and cut into 10 bars, 3cm x 7.5cm. To create an authentic bounty bar shape, cut off the corners of each bar. Use a palette knife or your hands to smooth out the sides and corners. Return to freezer to firm up.
- Step 4 :Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Use two forks to dip each bar into the chocolate. Gently shake the bar to remove excess chocolate. Place on a tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until chocolate is set.
- Step 5 :Remove bars from fridge and sprinkle with desiccated coconut. If you have any chocolate left over, drizzle over the bars and return to fridge to set.
- Step 6 :Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before eating, so they can soften slightly - it’s worth the wait!
