Description

Imagine biting into a treat that perfectly balances the creamy sweetness of coconut, the satisfying crunch of almonds, and the rich intensity of dark chocolate. These delightful coconut almond bars deliver that experience in every bite. The base begins with unsweetened coconut flakes, carefully combined with a touch of vanilla and almond essence to create a moist, sweet foundation.

This mixture is then shaped into mounds, ready to receive their almond treasures. Each mound is generously studded with toasted almonds, providing a delightful textural contrast to the soft coconut. The toasting process enhances the nutty flavor of the almonds, adding another layer of complexity to the treat.

Finally, these coconut almond mounds are enrobed in a layer of decadent dark chocolate. The bittersweet notes of the chocolate complement the sweetness of the coconut and the nutty flavor of the almonds, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on your palate. The chocolate coating hardens to a satisfying snap, adding yet another textural element to this already captivating treat.

These bars are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the sugar rush. They are a delightful snack to enjoy any time of day, whether you're looking for an afternoon pick-me-up or a guilt-free dessert after dinner. Store these treats in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.

They can be kept at room temperature, or for an even longer shelf life, stored in the refrigerator or freezer. The coolness enhances the chocolate's snap and provides a refreshing bite, especially on a warm day. The use of very dark chocolate provides a deep, complex flavor that balances beautifully with the sweet coconut and nutty almonds.

Enjoy these homemade coconut almond bars for a truly satisfying and delicious experience.

Instructions

    1.
    In the bowl of a large food processor, combine the coconut flakes, Keto-friendly vanilla syrup, almond extract, and kosher salt until the mixture is clumpy and sticky.
    2.
    Use a teaspoon-sized cookie scoop and portion the mix into 20 balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    3.
    Toast the almonds in an air fryer at 350 F for 3 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, use an oven set at 350 F and cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool until you can touch them.
    4.
    Press one almond into the center of each coconut mound. Chill the mounds in the freezer until firm, about 1 hour.
    5.
    Chop the chocolate and place it into a microwave-safe bowl—heat on high for one minute. Stir the chocolate. There should be a few solid pieces of chocolate in the mixture, which you want. Leaving a few pieces of solid chocolate will help to temper the chocolate. When the coconut mounds are coated in tempered chocolate, they will firm quickly and can safely be left at room temperature without the chocolate staying sticky.
    6.
    Dip each chilled almond coconut mound into the melted chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    7.
    Store in an airtight container at room temp or in the fridge or freezer if you will not eat them quickly.
