Seven Layer Magic Bars (Dairy-Free)

Pressing each layer down firmly before adding the next is what keeps the bars from sliding apart into a crumbly mess once sliced.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut condensed milk (dairy-free, sugar-free if available)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix almond flour and melted dairy-free butter together, then press firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan to form the crust.

  2. 2

    Pour the coconut condensed milk evenly over the crust.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the condensed milk, pressing down gently with your hands to help it adhere.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle chocolate chips, then pecans over the top, pressing each layer down firmly before adding the next — this firm pressing at every stage is what compacts the layers together so they hold as sliceable bars instead of sliding apart loosely once cut.

  5. 5

    Bake 25-28 minutes until the coconut is golden. Cool completely, then chill 1 hour before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
