Instructions

Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, coconut condensed milk, and confectioners sugar and mix until a thick dough remains.
Transfer the mixture into the lined pan. Using lightly wet hands, press down on top to smooth it out.
Refrigerate the coconut bars for at least an hour to firm up. Once firm, use a sharp knife to slice into bars.

Notes

TO STORE: Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

TO FREEZE: Wrap each bar individually in parchment paper, then store in a ziplock bag in the freezer for up to six months.

Variations

Make them sugar-free. Use sugar-free condensed milk and powdered sugar substitute.
Top the bars with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey for more flavor.
Add a graham cracker crust layer. For added texture and flavor, combine graham cracker crumbs, coconut oil, and light brown sugar. Mix until you achieve a sandy texture, then add this as your base layer for the bars.
Add mix-ins. Add crushed walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips into the bar batter for added crunch.
