It’s a 5-ingredient no-bake vegan dessert with a melt-in-your-mouth coconut layer topped with crunchy dark chocolate. Coconut lovers, this is for you! If you love bounty candy bars or almond joy bars but are looking for a healthier version of your favorite treat, this is the vegan dessert recipe to try! I love no-bake recipes, so much so that I have made several dozen no-bake snacks like my No-Bake Almond Butter Cookies, No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars, No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake Bars. This no-bake experience allowed me to perfect this coconut bar recipe for the ideal balance of taste and texture.
How To Make No-Bake Coconut Bars
No-bake coconut bars are very easy, raw, vegan desserts that you can make with only 5 ingredients and a food processor.
Ingredients
All you need to make them are 5 simple pantry ingredients:
Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut – You can also use shredded coconut or coconut chips, but it would take you longer to process them into a sticky coconut batter. Melted Coconut Oil – unrefined or refined. You need to use coconut oil because it’s the only oil that solidifies at room temperature. Consequently, it holds ingredients together without baking. Maple Syrup – or any other liquid sweetener. The best natural options are agave syrup, brown rice syrup, or coconut nectar. Dark Chocolate – I am using 85% dark chocolate. It’s vegan as it doesn’t contain milk or dairy. You can also use any other vegan chocolate you like. Anything with more than 70% cocoa is lower in sugar.
