Ingredients Needed
To make these keto-friendly bounty bars, you’ll need:
-
Unsweetened desiccated coconut – Use finely grated coconut, not shredded.
-
Coconut cream – Full-fat canned coconut cream for richness.

Coconut oil – Helps bind the mixture and solidifies the bars.
-
Erythritol – A keto-friendly sweetener that provides the right level of sweetness.
-
Sugar-free chocolate chips – For the delicious outer chocolate shell.
How To Make Keto Bounty Bars
Follow these simple steps to make your own no-bake keto coconut bars:
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
Add the desiccated coconut, coconut cream, melted coconut oil, and erythritol to a food processor. Blend for about 1 minute until a sticky dough forms.
Step 2: Shape and Press into a Pan
Line a 9-inch x 9-inch pan with parchment paper. Transfer the coconut mixture to the pan and press it firmly using a spatula to remove any air gaps.
Step 3: Freeze to Set
Place the pan in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. The cold temperature will firm up the bars, making them easier to cut.
Step 4: Cut Into Bars
Once set, remove the mixture from the pan and cut into bar shapes. For a more authentic bounty bar look, gently round the edges with your hands.
Step 5: Dip in Melted Chocolate
Melt sugar-free chocolate chips with a small amount of coconut oil. Using two forks, dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring a smooth, even coating. Place the coated bars on parchment paper and freeze again until the chocolate hardens.
Serving Suggestions
Keto Bounty Bars are rich in healthy fats, making them a satisfying snack. They’re perfect for a mid-day treat or an after-dinner dessert. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a few drops of liquid stevia to the coconut mixture.
For the chocolate coating, use dark chocolate with at least 78% cocoa content to keep the bars low in sugar while enhancing the rich flavor.

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
-
