Ingredients

Base Group

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavoured protein powder
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/3 cup almond butter or cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coconut “Raspberry” Layer

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons coconut butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1-2 teaspoons 1–2 tsp freeze-dried raspberry powder, natural pink pitaya powder or a few drops of beetroot juice or natural food colouring (optional for colour).
  • 1-2 tablespoons any milk (if needed for texture)

Raspberry Jam

  • 1/2 cup frozen, raspberries
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  • Line a 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.

Base Layer

  • In a bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, and coconut. Add melted coconut oil, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until a soft dough forms.
    Press into the base of the tin, smoothing evenly. Place in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to firm.

Coconut “Raspberry” Layer

  • Mix desiccated coconut, coconut butter or oil, maple syrup, and raspberry powder or food colouring. Add a little coconut milk if needed to help it stick together.
    Spread over the chilled base, pressing gently so the layers hold.
    Once chilled, slice into 8-10 bars or more smaller squares.

Jam Topping

  • To make the jam, mash the raspberries in a small bowl, add the chia seeds and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
    Use a Ziplock bag with a small piece of the end cut off to pipe the jam across the center of each bar or square to resemble classic Iced VoVo stripes.
    Dust with desiccated coconut if desired.
    Chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
    Tips & Variations
    Swap almond flour for oat flour if you prefer a nut-free version.
    Use chocolate protein powder for a richer biscuit flavour.
    Add collagen peptides for an extra protein boost without changing texture.
    For a stronger raspberry vibe, add a few crushed freeze-dried raspberries to the topping.
    Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freezer for op to 3 months. The texture becomes slightly fudgier straight from the freezer - highly recommended!
