Ingredients

3 cups shredded coconut 240g
1/2 cup protein powder 60g
1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute 60g
2/3 cup sugar free condensed milk 160mL
1 cup chocolate or chocolate chips, 170g

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add the coconut flakes, powdered sugar substitute, and protein powder and mix well. Add the sugar free condensed milk and mix well. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Transfer the mixture into a lined 8 x 8-inch pan and press down. Freeze for 10 minutes to firm up. Slice the mixture into 12 bars.
Add the chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave for 20-second increments until melted.
Using two forks, dip the coconut bars in the chocolate until completely coated, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place them on a lined plate and refrigerate the bars until the chocolate has firmed up.
