🥥 Ingredients for Bounty Chocolate Bars
Coconut Filling:
- 1½ cups milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup fresh cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Chocolate Coating:
- 300 grams milk chocolate (or dark chocolate if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
🍫 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Mixture
Take a large pan and add milk and sugar. Heat on medium flame and stir well until sugar completely dissolves.
Now add desiccated coconut and mix properly. Keep stirring so the coconut absorbs the milk and becomes soft and thick.
Step 2: Add Cream for Richness
Add fresh cream into the mixture. This step is important because it makes the filling creamy and smooth, just like the original Bounty bars.
Cook the mixture on low to medium flame while stirring continuously. The mixture will slowly start to thicken and come together.
Step 3: Cook Until It Holds Shape
Continue cooking until the mixture becomes thick enough to hold shape when pressed. It should not be too wet or too dry.
Once ready, turn off the flame and let it cool slightly for 10–15 minutes.
Step 4: Shape the Bars
When the mixture is warm (not fully cold), take small portions and shape them into rectangular or bar shapes using your hands.
Place them on a tray lined with butter paper. After shaping all bars, refrigerate them for about 1 hour so they become firm.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
Break the milk chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler method:
- Take a bowl of chocolate
- Place it over a pot of hot water
- Stir until fully melted and smooth
You can also add a little coconut oil for a glossy finish.
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly so it is warm, not too hot.
Step 6: Coat the Bars
Take the chilled coconut bars and dip them one by one into the melted chocolate.
Make sure each bar is fully coated from all sides. Use a fork to lift them out and let excess chocolate drip off.
Place them again on butter paper.
Step 7: Add Classic Bounty Look
Before the chocolate sets, you can lightly draw 3 lines on top using a knife or fork. This gives them the same look as store-bought Bounty bars.
Step 8: Final Setting
Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
