Hello, fellow keto enthusiasts! Today, we have an exciting recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you firmly on track with your ketogenic lifestyle.

We're talking about none other than mouthwatering Homemade Keto Bounty Bars! These bars are incredibly delicious, low in carbs, and simple to make. So, let's dive right in and discover how to create this keto-friendly treat.

Recipe Details

  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Chill time: 2.5 hours (2 hours for base + 30 min for chocolate set)
  • Total time: 3 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bars (from an 8x8 dish, cut 3x4)

Keto Bounty Bars Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Make the Base: Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the heavy cream and Xanthan gum, whisking until they are well combined. The addition of Xanthan gum will help thicken the mixture and create a creamy texture.
  2. Mix: Stir in the Xylitol, shredded coconut, vanilla, and salt. Make sure to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring that the coconut is evenly coated and the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Shape: Line an 8x8 baking dish or pan with parchment paper. Transfer the coconut mixture into the lined dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly to create a smooth surface.
  4. Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the bars to chill for at least 2 hours or until they become firm.
  5. Cut: Once the bars are firm, remove them from the refrigerator and cut them into your desired sizes and shapes (cutting a 3x4 grid yields 12 perfect bars). You can go for classic rectangular bars or unleash your creativity with different shaped molds.
  6. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your preferred keto-friendly dark chocolate in short intervals. Stir in between until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
  7. Dip: Dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring that all sides are coated. You can use a fork or toothpicks to assist with the coating process.
  8. Set: Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray and return them to the refrigerator. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  9. Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Keto Bounty Bars are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in a cool, dry place or in the freezer for longer shelf life.

💡 Pro-Tips for the Ketoavie Community

  • Working with Xanthan Gum: Sprinkle it slowly while whisking the hot cream or it will clump. 1/2 tsp is perfect—adding more will make the texture gummy.
  • How to Get Firm Bars: Press the coconut mixture very firmly with the back of a spoon (or put parchment on top and press down) into the dish. Let them chill for the full 2 hours before cutting, otherwise, they will crumble when you dip them.
  • Why the net carbs stay so low: Shredded coconut and xanthan gum are packed with dietary fiber. The xylitol and the erythritol in Lily's chocolate are sugar alcohols that your body does not digest as net carbs, and the heavy cream is almost entirely fat!

  2. Add the cacao or cocoa powder to the saucepan and whisk until it is well combined with the butter, creating a smooth mixture.
  3. Stir in the stevia or allulose, adjusting the amount according to your personal taste preferences for sweetness.
  4. For an added touch, you can include instant coffee to infuse a delightful coffee flavor into the sauce. Whisk until the coffee is fully incorporated.
  5. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract to the saucepan. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chocolate sauce to cool slightly.
  7. Transfer the sauce to a jar or container for storage, ensuring it is properly sealed.
