Raspberry & Coconut Chocolate Dream Bars
Raspberry and coconut chocolate-covered bars are a delectable fusion of flavors and textures. A harmonious blend of sweet raspberries and tropical coconut is encased in a rich layer of smooth chocolate, creating a satisfying balance between tartness, sweetness, and richness. These bars offer a delightful contrast between the chewiness of coconut and the decadence of chocolate, making them a perfect treat for those seeking a luscious and indulgent snack. With each bite, you experience a symphony of fruity, nutty, and chocolatey notes, making these bars a deliciously irresistible delight for any occasion.
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- 190 grams grams of frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams gluten free and dairy free chocolate pieces for the coating
*you could replace the frozen raspberries with frozen blueberries or frozen strawberries.
Instructions
- In a food processor add the coconut, raspberries, agave and vanilla.
- Using the pulse button pulse the mixture a few times until it all starts to form together.
- Remove the container and scoop the mixture into a parchment line bread pan. (I used a cake pan, to make mine smaller)
- Press and smooth the mixture and them place in the freezer for two hours.
- About 10 mins before you remove the mixture from the freezer melt your chocolate pieces in a double boiler or in the microwave.
- Remove from the freezer and using the parchment paper lift out the frozen mixture and cut into 7 bars. I cut mine into 2" pieces.
- Place 1 piece at a time in the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper until the chocolate is set.
