Ingredients
Coconut Filling
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut Use desiccated coconut for a finer texture.
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk Make sure it’s Halal-certified.
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips Opt for dairy-free chips for a vegan-friendly option.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by lining a square baking dish (8×8 inch) with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut with sweetened condensed milk until the coconut is fully coated and can hold its shape.
Forming and Chilling
- Press the coconut mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Melting Chocolate
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
Coating
- Lift the chilled coconut layer out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into bars or squares.
- Dip each piece into the melted chocolate, making sure they are well-coated, and let the excess drip off.
Final Chill
- Place the chocolate-coated bars back on the parchment-lined dish and chill in the refrigerator for another hour until the chocolate is firm.
Serving
- Once set, serve your 3-Ingredient Mounds Bars and enjoy them with friends and family!
Notes
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them in a freezer-safe container for longer storage. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
