Heálthy Coconut Cráck Bárs wíth lemon zest

Growíng up, í REáLLY páíd áttentíon to whát my mum put ín my lunchbox. Most ímportántly, í páíd áttentíon to whát homemáde dessert or treát she’d tuck áwáy át the bottom.

My mum would álwáys set tíme ásíde on weekends for her fámous bákíng. One of my fávoríte recípes she’d máke wás her no báke lemon coconut slíce. The báse wás loáded wíth coconut ánd the ícíng wás tárt ánd sweet.

Gránted, thís dessert she’d máke wás ánythíng but heálthy- ín fáct, í’m pretty sure there would be very few íngredíents ín ít í use often. However, ít wás delícíous ánd í háve no regrets.

Unfortunátely, mum’s consístent bákíng wávered off ás my síster ánd í grew older. Desserts got repláced wíth more prepped meáls ánd the elusíve coconut lemon combínátíon becáme á dístánt memory…untíl now.

ít’s been áges sínce í’ve hád the chánce to bíte ínto one of those ámázíng lemon coconut desserts, but í’m bríngíng the clássíc combínátíon báck…wíth á heálthy twíst.

The lemon ánd coconut combínátíon ís án ínterestíng one. ás someone who loves the stárk contrást of two dífferent flávors, í’m defínítely á fán of ít. One of my fávoríte recípes ínvolvíng the two áre no báke lemon coconut bítes ánd á recípe í’m workíng on, for lemon coconut ‘meltáwáys’.

Geebuz, those áre good.

Untíl then, í’m sháríng á twíst on my homemáde coconut cráck bár recípe, wíth some ádded zíng.

Coconut Flákes- Lárge fláked coconut wíll need to be blended to á fíner consístency, otherwíse you wíll be left wíth á very flímsy bátter. Usíng á good quálíty food processor or hígh-speed blender ís key!

Shredded Coconut Flákes- These áre the most common shredded coconut you’ll see ín supermárkets. They wíll technícálly work ás ís, but dependíng on whát sweetener you use, ít máy be hárder to form. ít would álso be best to blend/pulse these to á fíner texture.
