Can I use regular sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened?

No, sweetened coconut has added sugar and will raise the carb count. For keto, always use unsweetened shredded coconut so the bars stay low-carb.

How do I keep the chocolate from cracking off the coconut filling?

Make sure the bars are frozen solid before dipping, and add a little coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This makes the coating smooth and less likely to crack.

How long do keto frozen coconut bars last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight container, they’ll last up to 3 months in the freezer without losing flavor or texture.

Instructions

Mix shredded coconut, coconut cream, melted coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until sticky.
Line a small baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly, pressing down firmly.
Freeze for 1–2 hours until solid.
