Low-Carb Coconut Chocolate Bars
Low-Carb Coconut Chocolate Bars
(Better-Than-Store-Bought “Mounds” — Keto, Diabetic-Friendly & Only a Handful of Ingredients!)
If you love the dreamy combo of rich dark chocolate and sweet, fluffy coconut, these Low-Carb Coconut Chocolate Bars will feel like a gift from heaven. They taste exactly like a Mounds bar — maybe even better — but without the sugar crash or the guilt.
I call these my 5-minute miracle treats because they take almost no effort, use simple pantry ingredients, and come out tasting like gourmet confectionery. They’re creamy inside, perfectly chocolatey outside, melt in your mouth, and satisfy every craving without blowing your carb count.
These bars are the perfect dessert for diabetics, keto eaters, or anyone who just wants a cleaner, healthier sweet treat.
🛒 Ingredients
Coconut Filling
- 1½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup coconut cream OR heavy cream
- 3 tbsp butter, softened
- 3–4 tbsp powdered erythritol or monkfruit sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s, ChocZero, etc.)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional but helps smoothness)
👩🍳 How to Make Low-Carb Coconut Chocolate Bars
1️⃣ Make the Coconut Base
Mix coconut, cream, softened butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until a thick coconut “dough” forms (as shown in photo 1).
2️⃣ Shape Into Bars
Form small bars with your hands (photo 2).
If the mixture feels sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes first.
3️⃣ Chill the Bars
Place shaped bars on parchment paper and freeze 20–30 minutes to firm up (photo 3).
This step is important — otherwise they melt when dipping.
4️⃣ Melt the Chocolate
Gently melt sugar-free chocolate with coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts (photo 4).
5️⃣ Dip the Coconut Bars
Remove bars from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate.
Lay them on parchment paper to set (photo 5).
6️⃣ Enjoy the Magic
Once the chocolate hardens, bite into that creamy coconut center (photo 6).
Pure bliss — no sugar needed. ✨
