With just 20 minutes of prep time, these 16 creamy, chocolaty squares are ideal for parties, potlucks, or a midday pick-me-up. Serve chilled for the ultimate dessert experience!
Prepare the base layer: In a medium bowl, mix the melted light butter and granulated sugar together until fully combined.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and beat in the egg. Mix well.
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut until the mixture comes together as a dense, crumbly dough.
Press the mixture firmly into a greased or parchment-lined 8x8-inch square pan to form an even base layer. Set aside.
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and pudding mix until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until the filling is thick and creamy.
Spread the filling evenly over the base layer using a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for 20–30 minutes.
Prepare the chocolate topping: Melt the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of light butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
Carefully pour the chocolate topping over the set filling layer and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill the assembled bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate hardens.
Remove from the fridge and cut into 16 squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
