Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil gently. Ensure the heat is low to avoid burning.
Once the coconut oil is melted, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and erythritol. Stir the mixture continuously until smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to the saucepan, stirring well to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.
Transfer the coconut mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and pressing down firmly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly over the top of the coconut mixture, pressing them lightly into the surface.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the bars are completely set.
Once set, lift the block out of the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
