Ingredients
Filling
- 1 and 1/4 cup (100g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (65g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 and 1/2 scoops (51g) Musclepharm vanilla combat protein powder
- 2 tbsp. (28g) butter*
- 1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup*
- 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup (126g) Amberlyn Chocolates sugar free dark chocolate chunks
- 1 tbsp. (14g) organic coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix unsweetened coconut, sweetened coconut, and protein powder. I used my hands to make sure it was incorporated together well.
- In a separate bowl, add butter, sugar free maple syrup, and coconut extract. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until butter is melted then mix. Pour over shredded coconut mixture. Mix well with a fork. It should start to get sticky and form a ball. If too dry and not sticking together, add 1 tbsp. almond milk at a time and mix until it forms a ball. If too wet, add extra shredded coconut.
- Line a 5×5 baking dish or plastic container with wax paper. Pres batter flatly and firmly into the container. Should be little under an inch tall. Put in freezer for 30 minutes.
- With about 10 minutes left of coconut being in freezer, start making chocolate coating. Add dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals and mix after each. I ended up microwaving for a total of 5 times or 2:30.
- Take coconut out of freezer. Lift wax paper to pull coconut out of container. Cut into 6 bars. One at a time, put each bar into the chocolate and flip around with a fork until completely covered. Use fork again to move bar to a clean sheet of wax paper. Repeat for the remaining bars. Put in fridge for about 30 minutes to let chocolate set and harden. Enjoy!
Notes
For the butter, I used vegan butter. You could use regular butter and even try coconut oil.
The sugar free maple syrup could be subbed for pure maple syrup, agave, or honey.
