Blender Coconut Chocolate Bars (No-Bake)

Prep: 10 minutes
Chill: 30–45 minutes
Serves: ~10–12 bars

Ingredients

For the Coconut Filling

2 cups (160–180 g) shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Coating

200–250 g chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for smooth coating)

Instructions

1. Blend the Filling

Add coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend until it forms a thick, sticky mixture.

👉 It should hold together when pressed—like a soft dough.

2. Shape the Bars

Scoop and shape into small rectangles or logs (like mini candy bars).
Place on a tray lined with parchment paper.

3. Chill

Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
👉 This makes dipping MUCH easier.

4. Melt the Chocolate

Melt chocolate with coconut oil (microwave in 20-second bursts or double boiler).
Stir until smooth and glossy.

5. Coat the Bars

Dip each coconut bar into melted chocolate.
Let excess drip off, then place back on parchment.

6. Set

Chill for 10–15 minutes until chocolate hardens.

Make sure bars are cold before dipping
