3 Ingredient Homemade Bounty Bars!



I don’t remember the last time I ate a candy bar (I bet you a kidney it was a Mars Bar though..) I just stopped eating them a while back since I stopped enjoying them..
now I just look at people eating them and think: "How can they tolerate them?" - I don't mean to sound braggy, however, you can adjust your tastebuds. It's been a long journey, and I am still in it, I am trying to change the way I filter food so that I can no longer tolerate anything that's not "Real" or full of chemicals.



With that being said, I still enjoy some sweet treats (with the modification on the sweet part - this desert has no sweetener in it) and I was really craving coconut!

so here you go: my 3 ingredient (could pass for 2) vegan bounty bar! 


I don't really have a recipe for this, however in total I used:

1 bag (2 2/3 cup) unsweetened shaved coconut
2 cups chopped dark coco (about 85% - but anything over 70% would work)
1 tin (160 ml) coconut cream (optional)

1. I started off by creaming 1/4 cup of the coconut flakes in a food processor until it churned into butter, then folded the rest of the flakes in, then put it in the fridge to chill.

2. while it was chilling, I melted the chocolate and started coating the insides of the molds, then put it in the freezer to set.

3. once the chocolate has set, I scooped around 1-2 teaspoons of the coconut mixture into the chocolate and then covered with some more melted chocolate and put it in the freezer to set again.

you could transfer it into the fridge as a snack, or keep in the freezer as an ice-cream bar.




there is 2 more methods for this dessert:

























































1. you could cream all the coconut in the blender: this will tern your center into a soft peanut-butter like consistency (think Reese's cups.

2. you could mix the shaved coconut with the cream (don't use all of it, add a little at a time until desired consistency is reached): This would make it a more chewy dessert with bits of coconut.

This recipe makes a LOT of dessert (about 30 small cups and 4 big ones) I tend to make the huge batch then freeze it so I can pull out pieces whenever I have a craving for some chocolate!
believe me, one is enough!

I hope you enjoyed this dessert recipe!
