Method
Prepare the Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of bars.
Mix the Base Layer
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, coconut flour, almond flour, powdered erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Stir in melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until a sticky, moldable dough forms.
Press Base into Pan
- Transfer the base mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your fingers to press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan, forming a compact layer.
Chill the Base
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm up the base layer while preparing the chocolate layer.
Prepare Chocolate Layer
- In a small bowl or saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and mix with unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour Chocolate Over Base
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the chilled coconut base. Spread evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts over the chocolate layer while it’s still soft. Press gently for better adhesion.
Chill to Set
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 1–2 hours until the chocolate layer is firm and the bars hold together.
Cut and Serve
- Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.
