Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 4 ripe kiwis, sliced
- 1 cup coconut cream (or whipped topping)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare the Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened coconut flakes, granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Press the Crust: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish to form an even layer.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it turns lightly golden in color.
- Cool the Crust: Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely to ensure the filling sets properly.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the sliced ripe kiwis, coconut cream (or whipped topping), fresh lime juice, and agave syrup if using. Mix gently until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Bars: Pour the kiwi filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
- Serve: Once set, cut the bars into squares and serve them chilled for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Agave syrup is optional and can be replaced with honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Using coconut cream adds richness, but whipped topping can be a suitable substitute.
- Ensure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- Chilling for longer than 2 hours will help the bars firm up even more, making them easier to cut.
- These bars should be stored in the refrigerator and are best consumed within 3 days.
