Description
A healthy spin on the classic mounds candy bar! These mounds bars have a coconut filling that's coated in dark chocolate - paleo, vegan and keto friendly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup coconut cream*
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup (maple flavored syrup for keto)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 5 oz dark chocolate (about 1 cup chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla and salt.
- Mix in the shredded coconut until well combined.
- Use a large cookie scoop (2 tablespoons in size) to scoop the coconut filling. Place the filling on the lined baking sheet and mold it into an oval-like shape with your hands.
- Freeze the fillings for 30-60 minutes or until firm.
- Place the dark chocolate in a small sauce pan. Melt on the stove top, over low heat, stirring frequently. Once melted, remove from heat and grab the fillings from the freezer.
- One at a time, dip the fillings into the melted chocolate. Place them back on the lined baking sheet to set.
- Optional: Drizzle remaining dark chocolate over the candy bars and add a pinch of flaked sea salt.
- Store in fridge or freezer.
Notes
*Just the cream from a can of full fat coconut milk. I recommend chilling the can in the fridge overnight so that the cream separates from the milk.
