Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup coconut condensed milk
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the bars after chilling.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut condensed milk, and confectioners sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a thick, cohesive dough.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the coconut dough into the lined pan. Using lightly wet hands, press down firmly and evenly to smooth out the surface and compact the mixture.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pressed mixture for at least one hour to allow the bars to firm up. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into bars of your desired size.
Notes
- The parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes it easier to remove the bars.
- Wet your hands when pressing the mixture to prevent sticking and to smooth the surface evenly.
- Refrigerate sufficiently to ensure the bars hold their shape when cut.
- Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
