Chocolate-Covered Coconut Bars
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded coconut
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 large can sweetened condensed milk
- 500 grams chocolate
Preparation
Prepare a wide tray with a metal rack or parchment paper on it.
In a deep bowl, combine the shredded coconut, salt, cornstarch, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix with a wide plastic spoon until it forms a cohesive dough.
Shape the dough into uniform rectangles and place them on the rack to dry and firm up for several minutes.
Melt the chocolate in a deep bowl over a double boiler on low heat, stirring with a wide plastic spoon until smooth.
Dip each coconut piece into the melted chocolate using a fork, coat completely, shake off excess, and place back on the rack. Repeat for all pieces.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
