Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, unsweetened coconut. This will give your bars a more intense coconut flavor.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of milk until the mixture thickens.
  • Be sure to let the bars chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
  • For a more decadent dessert, you can top the bars with a layer of whipped cream or ice cream.
  • These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
