Frozen Mounds Bar

It has been a rich summer. Rich in sun, rich in good food & wine and most importantly rich in quality time with family and friends. Frozen mounds bar – or bounty as they are called here in the Nordics – has been one of my preferred cool treats. It is low in sugar and high in deliciousness.

Mounds Bar

• 1/2 can of coconut milk – only the fat (discard the water or use for something else)
• 2 tbsps coconut oil
• 5 1/4 oz / 150 gr shredded coconut
• 2 tbsps acacia honey or other sweetener
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Dash of salt
• 5 1/4 oz / 150 gr 70% chocolate

Procedure

1. Melt the coconut fat and the coconut oil with the sweetener.
2. Add vanilla extract, salt and shredded coconut and stir gently to combine.
3. Prepare a small square cake pan with plastic wrap. Press the coconut firmly into the pan.
4. Cool in the fridge or freezer for 1-2 hours.
5. Chop and melt the chocolate. I usually melt chocolate in the microwave.
6. Cut into desired shapes and dip in the melted chocolate.
7. Store in the fridge. Delicious both room temp, cool or frozen.
