Bounty Chocolate
Make your own Bounty bars at home with creamy coconut filling and milk chocolate coating. No baking, just chilling. Easy, fun, and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup cream
- 300 grams milk chocolate
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Coconut Filling
- In a large pan or kadai, combine milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add desiccated coconut and stir well to combine.
- Pour in the cream and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to hold its shape — this usually takes 8–10 minutes.
Step 2: Shape the Bars
- Transfer the coconut mixture to a plate and allow it to cool slightly.
- Scoop out portions and shape into small, rectangular bars — similar to the classic Bounty shape.
- Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- Melt the milk chocolate using a double boiler method — stir continuously until smooth and glossy.
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly. If it’s too hot, it will melt the coconut bars when dipping.
Step 4: Dip and Decorate
- Dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate using forks or tongs, ensuring a full, even coating.
- Place the dipped bars back on the parchment paper.
- (Optional) Use a butter knife to score three lines across the top to mimic store-bought Bounty bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set.
