VEGAN BLUEBERRY BOUNTY BARS
I’m really enjoying coming up with healthier vegan and gluten-free alternatives to some of my favourite treats and chocolate bars. I’ve already made my own healthified versions of Twix bars and Snickers and naturally I had to move on to creating a healthier version of bounty bars next!
Bounty bars are up there as one of my all time favourite chocolate bars. As you may be able to tell by now, I don’t actually just have one favourite – I have many favourites that I like equally.
These vegan blueberry bounty bars would make a perfect treat for Valentine’s day with their delicious and creamy lilacy filling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (235ml) light coconut milk
- 5 tbsp maple syrup
- 4 tbsp coconut butter or creamed coconut
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups (110g) desiccated coconut
- 1 tbsp Arctic Power Berries blueberry powder
- 200g dark chocolate, melted
Method
- Pour the milk into a saucepan along with the coconut butter, maple syrup and salt. Heat on low until everything is combined.
- Take off the heat and fold in the desiccated coconut and blueberry powder.
- Press down into a loaf tin covered with parchment paper. Freeze for 2-3 hours.
- Slice into 12 bars and coat with the melted chocolate. Freeze again for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy!
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively freeze and take out 15 minutes before serving.
