Strawberry Coconut Bars Recipe

For this recipe, you will need shredded coconut, coconut oil, honey, freeze-dried strawberries, and dark chocolate.

Combine the shredded coconut, freeze-dried strawberries, coconut oil, and honey into a food processor. Process until the strawberry is chopped into fine pieces and combined with the coconut mixture. 

Press the mixture into an oiled glass dish and freeze for 30 minutes to an hour. You can also use mini muffin molds, which is what I used.

Once the bars are frozen, remove them from the freezer and cut them into even squares.

Melt the chocolate chips and 1 tsp of coconut oil together in the microwave. 

Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberry coconut bars and spread evenly over the top.

Return the bars to the freezer to set for about 20 minutes.

Once set, cut the bars and serve. 

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

FAQ – Strawberry Coconut Bars

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried strawberries?

Yes, you can substitute fresh strawberries for freeze-dried strawberries. However, note that the texture and moisture content will be different, which may affect the final consistency of the bars.

How should I store these bars?

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, they can be kept in the freezer for up to one month. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the topping?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by using less honey or maple syrup in the coconut mixture.

Are these bars suitable for vegans?

Yes, these bars are vegan as they do not contain any animal products. Ensure the dark chocolate chips you use are vegan-friendly.

Can I omit the coconut oil?

The coconut oil helps bind the ingredients together and adds moisture. Omitting it may result in a drier texture, but you could experiment with increasing the honey or maple syrup slightly as a substitute.

Can I make these bars nut-free?

These bars are already nut-free, but if you have concerns about cross-contamination, ensure all ingredients are from nut-free facilities and that your equipment is thoroughly cleaned.

How do I cut these bars neatly?

For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and dip it in hot water before each cut. Wipe the knife clean between cuts to maintain neat edges.

Can I add other ingredients to these bars?

Certainly! You can add chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the coconut mixture for added texture and flavor. Ensure they are finely chopped so the bars hold together well.
