Ingredients

Creamy Filling

  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Note: Place the can of coconut cream in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.
    Line an 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.
    When ready to make the bars, open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.

Creamy Filling

  • Place the hardened coconut cream into a mixer bowl and use a whisk attachment to whip the coconut cream to form soft peaks.
    Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped coconut cream until incorporated.
    Pour the cream chocolate mixture into the lined pan and spread out evenly.
    Allow to set in the freezer for a couple of hours.
    Take out of the freezer and cut into 8 bars or more smaller squares depending on your preferred size.
    Keep in the freezer until ready to dip the chocolate.

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Put the bars on a lined sheet or dish (something that will fit in your freezer or fridge).
    Working quickly, using two forks, dip one bar at a time into the bowl of melted chocolate until it is fully coated. Lift the bar from the bowl of chocolate and let any excess drip off, then place it onto a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining bars.
    Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 
    Place the bars in the fridge or freezer to finish setting.
    Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
