Ingredients
113g butter
150g granulated sugar
2 eggs
30g unsweetened cocoa powder
90g all-purpose flour
1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
150g shredded sweetened coconut (for middle layer)
100g shredded sweetened coconut (for topping)
2–3 drops red food coloring
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, melt the butter and mix with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well.
3. Sift in cocoa powder and flour, mixing until just combined. Spread into the baking pan and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Allow the chocolate base to cool slightly before adding the coconut filling.
5. In a bowl, mix condensed milk and 150g shredded coconut. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled chocolate base.
6. In a separate bowl, mix 100g coconut with a few drops of red food coloring until evenly pink. Sprinkle over the top.
7. Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
8. Cut into squares and serve cold for clean, beautiful layers.
Notes
For a deeper coconut flavor, toast the coconut for the middle layer lightly before mixing.
Bars slice best when well chilled—use a sharp knife and clean between cuts for neat edges.
