These Coconut Cookie Dough bars are so delicious and are really quick and easy to make! They have such a great fudgey texture and the coconut works perfectly with the chocolate!
I based this recipe on my Cookie Dough Freezer Bars which you can find here. The original bars contain chickpeas, however, I use cannellini beans in this recipe. If you are yet to try any of my dessert recipes that use legumes and feel a little skeptical after reading this then I promise you that you cannot tell they’re in there. Legumes lend a lovely moist and fudgy texture to bakes and no bake desserts alike and I would definitely encourage experimenting with them!
If you do not have any cannellini beans you could use chickpeas or haricot beans instead, maybe even butter beans! Legumes have a great nutrient profile meaning that these Coconut Cookie Dough Freezer Bars do too. If you are trying to make more ‘healthy’ desserts and are looking to incorporate snacks with higher protein servings then these bars are for you!
You can make these in ten minutes or less as I have noted, however, you will need to take into consideration the time needed for these bars to set. I usually pop them in the freezer, (hence the name), and store them in there to prolong their shelf life. However, if you want a softer texture you could just keep these in the refrigerator but they will need eating within a day or two.
I made these with a dairy free white chocolate, however, if you would prefer to use a milk or dark chocolate instead, or even a mixture, then feel free to do so. You could also reduce the amount of chocolate used or choose to only add chunks into the batter, etc if preferred – please feel free around with this one to see what suita your personal preferences.
I use individual silicone brownie moulds to make these cookie dough bars, however, if you don’t have any you can just press the dough into an 8″ x 8″ brownie tray and cut into six pieces once set
