PIN RECIPE
Servings: 9
Equipment
- food processor
- 9"x9" square baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup vegan white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped pistachios I ran mine through the food processor for a few seconds
Pretzel crust
- 1 cup pretzel crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp melted vegan butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line your baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
Making your crust
- Pulse pretzels in the food processor for a few seconds until they are finely ground. In a small bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Pour and press into your baking dish. I like to use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to do this.
Layering your magic bars
- Sprinkle shredded coconut over the crust. Next, you will sprinkle your chopped pistachios over the coconut followed by the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Lastly, pour the can of condensed milk over all the layers. Bake for 30 minutes. I added more coconut shreds after removing from the oven and baked it for another 10 minutes to get them a little toasted. This step is completely optional.
- Once the bars cool down to room temperature, place them in the fridge for a few hours. This makes them easier to cut into bars.
Notes
Tip:
Before cutting into your bars, spray both sides of your knife with non-stick cooking spray. This is especially helpful when when cutting into ooey-gooey treats!
