Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base and Layers
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut Can use unsweetened for less sweetness
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Thaw if using frozen
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Use alcohol-free if desired
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips Optional topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared dish.
  3. Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly over the graham cracker base, and add dark chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Distribute fresh raspberries over the coconut layer evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract and pour evenly over the raspberries and coconut.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Allow to cool completely before lifting out and cutting into bars.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes if desired.
