Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup vanilla whipped cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dollops of vanilla-scented whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 baking dish to form a crust.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the coconut mixture over the prepared crust and return to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set.
- Allow the bars to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until fully set (about 2-4 hours or overnight).
- Top with dollops of vanilla-scented whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut before serving.
Notes
These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the best flavor and texture, don’t add whipped cream until serving.
