Here's that great tasting desert that the family will love! These Coconut Bars are sort of good for you and will not make you run a few miles the next day to work it off!

Let's Get Started…

Here Is What You Need: 

For The Crust:

• ¾ cup almonds
• ½ cup oats
• ½ cup pitted dates
• ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For The Cream:

• ½ cup coconut oil
• 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 cups greek yogurt (I used Fage)
• 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons honey

How To Put Everything Together: 

1. With coconut oil, grease a 9×9 pan
2. For crust; put the almonds and oats in a food processor and blend till chopped finely.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients for the crust until it's sticky. If it's not clumping together, you may need to add more dates.
4. Put the crust mix in the greased pan and press into an even layer. Put in the freezer while you are making the cream.
5. Pour the coconut oil and flakes into the food processor and blend for several minutes.
6. Once the coconut mix has become creamy add the rest of the ingredients and blend til evenly mixed.
7. Take crust out of freezer and coat top with cream.
8. Freeze them for about one hour or until firm.

Finished!

You can take them out a little before if you don't mind the sticky mess of them. Now add a glass of milk and you are set to see those smiling faces on the kiddies faces.
