2 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut cream

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating

½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped keto chocolate

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Filling
-
In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, powdered sweetener, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
-
Mix until a sticky, moldable mixture forms.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes so it’s easier to shape.
Step 2: Shape the Bars
-
Scoop portions of the coconut mixture and shape into small bars (similar to classic Bounty bars).
-
Place the shaped bars on a parchment-lined tray.
-
Freeze for 15 minutes to firm them up.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
-
Melt sugar-free chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts.
-
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Coat the Bars
-
Remove the coconut bars from the freezer.
-
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
-
Place back on the parchment-lined tray.
Step 5: Set the Bars
-
Chill the coated bars in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate hardens (about 20–30 minutes).
Tips for Perfect Keto Bounty Bars
