Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cup graham cracker crumbs You can use store-bought or homemade crumbs.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted Make sure it’s cooled slightly before mixing.
  • 3 cup heavy cream Whipped to soft peaks for the topping.
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut Look for the unsweetened version if you prefer.
  • 3 large egg yolks Separate them from the whites.
  • 1 cup coconut milk Canned coconut milk works great here.
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar For sweetening the whipped cream.
  • vanilla extract A splash adds wonderful flavor.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your pan to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden, then allow it to cool.
  • In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks and coconut milk over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. Add shredded coconut to the mixture and stir until combined. Pour this filling over the cooled crust.
  • Let the bars chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours until set. Once set, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until you have soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream atop the bars just before serving.
  • Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy the creamy, coconut goodness!

Notes

These bars are a great make-ahead dessert and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days!
