  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s get down to the essentials. You don’t need a pantry full of exotic ingredients. Just simple, honest things you might already have at home.

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 2 drops of pink food coloring (optional, but so fun!)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Feel free to substitute the granulated sugar with coconut sugar for an extra layer of flavor. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a drop of almond extract can add a lovely twist.

Instructions

Here’s where the magic happens. Follow these steps and let’s turn those ingredients into a masterpiece.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumbly base mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut with condensed milk and mix until well coated. Add the pink food coloring and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
  5. Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the baked crust, pressing down gently with a spatula.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes. The coconut topping should be lightly toasted.
  7. Allow the bars to cool in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar. Cut into squares and enjoy!

These bars are perfect for involving the kids. Let them help with mixing the pink coconut—it’s like creating edible art!
