Description

These 4-Ingredient Raspberry Coconut Bars combine the tropical sweetness of shredded coconut with the rich creaminess of sweetened condensed milk and the tangy burst of raspberry jam, all layered over a graham cracker crumb base. Baked until golden and chewy, they make a simple yet delicious treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Base and Topping

  • 1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Filling

  • 1 cup raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded sweetened coconut, graham cracker crumbs, and sweetened condensed milk until completely combined to form a sticky base.
  3. Layer Bottom: Press half of the coconut mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer to support the raspberry jam.
  4. Add Raspberry Jam: Evenly spread the raspberry jam over the pressed coconut base layer, ensuring a uniform fruity layer throughout.
  5. Top Layer: Crumble the remaining coconut mixture over the raspberry jam and gently press it down to form the top layer without flattening the jam.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bars are set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the dish before cutting into 16 bars to ensure clean slices and set texture.

Notes

  • Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
  • For a less sweet version, use unsweetened shredded coconut or reduce the amount of condensed milk slightly.
  • Raspberry jam can be substituted with other fruit preserves like strawberry or blueberry for flavor variation.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These bars can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
