7ozsugar free chocolate 200g, option to use 90% dark chocolate or 100% unsweetened chocolate. Sweeten unsweetened chocolate to taste with stevia drops or allulose.
1 -2tablespoonalluloseor sweetener of choice, to sweeten the filling
Instructions
Melt half of the chocolate. I did this in a pot over a low heat, but you can use a microwave, too. If you're using unsweetened chocolate, sweeten with stevia drops to your liking once it has cooled to lukewarm (around 12 drops per 100g).
Line a small casserole dish (mine was 10x7 inch) with parchment paper. Pour in the chocolate and spread evenly.
Place in the fridge or freezer to harden, 5-15 minutes.
For the filling, blend the desiccated coconut with the coconut cream, coconut oil and sweetener until soft and sticky. arounf 2 minutes. This is best done in a food processor, but you could also use an immersion blender and a tall, narrow mixing bowl.
Spread the filling over the hardened chocolate base and press down. I ended up using only around half of the filling. Next time I'll use more to make my bark less chocolatey and more coco-nutty.
Melt the second half of chocolate and pour over the top. Option to sprinkle shredded coconut on the top.
Refrigerate until set - 5-15 minutes. Then cut into 15-20 pieces using a sharp knife.
Notes
0.8g net carbs per serving (assuming 15 servings).I had around half of the coconut filling left over, but decided not to change the recipe because it would be tricky to blend only a tiny amount in a food processor. You could make little bliss balls and roll them in cocoa powder, for example. Or use more than half the filling and make your bark more coconutty - I think this is what I'll do next time.I calculated the nutrition facts with half the coconut filling.If you wanted, you could also make "proper" low carb Bounty Bars instead of bark - just form little bars and dip in chocolate instead! In this case, 100g/3.5 oz of chocolate would sufficeI used 100% unsweetened chocolate by Montezuma. Sweeten it to your liking with stevia drops or allulose. You could also use ready-made sugar free chocolate such as Lily's or ChocZero or 90% Lindt (no additional sweetener needed).
