Graham Crust
- 1 33333333/100000000 cups graham cracker crumbs (we use this)
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar Topping
- 1 (11 ounce) can condensed coconut milk (we use this)
- 1 cup pecans and/or walnuts, chopped
- 3/4 cup mini vegan chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 1 (8 in. x 8 in.) pan(s) with parchment paper so that the parchment flap hangs from the sides. This will make it easier to remove the bars from the pan later.
- Step 2: Grind down the whole graham crackers in a food processor until it reaches a flour consistency. Measure out the 1.3 cup of crumbs needed. Add the crumbs, butter, and sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix until combined, it should feel sandy.
- Step 3: Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it down evenly (don't forget the corners) to create a flat surface.
- Step 4: Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Once it's done, remove from the oven to cool, at least 10 minutes.
- Step 5: Sprinkle the following evenly over the cooled crust, in order: pecans, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Pour the condensed coconut milk over everything, making sure to fill any gaps evenly. If you'd like, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top.
- Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 22 minutes. Set on a wire rack to cool completely before transferring to the refrigerator to harden. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Once hardened, slice and enjoy. These will make 24 very small pieces, or 16 larger ones. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Freezes well.
