Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut 240g
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (agave, honey, or maple syrup) See notes for options.
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or coconut butter 96g
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate Layer
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup almond butter or additional chips or coconut oil/butter Optional replacement.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, letting it drape over the sides for easy lifting.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetener, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a food processor for a smoother texture or mix by hand.
  3. Spread about two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of the pan and press it down firmly.
  4. Melt the chocolate and stir in the almond butter once melted. Pour over the coconut layer.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining coconut on top and gently press it down.
  6. Refrigerate for about an hour until firm.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a few months. Slice them into pieces before freezing for easy access later.
