Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1.25 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the crust, ensuring complete coverage.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the coconut layer, spreading it with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the base has cooled, place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cooled coconut layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
