Description
Jam-Filled Coconut Bars are a no-bake treat that combines the sweetness of jam with crunchy coconut and biscuit layers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g plain biscuits
- 100 g butter
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Jam (apricot, strawberry, raspberry, or mixed berry)
Instructions
- Line a square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
- Melt the butter and pour it over the crushed biscuits in a large mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
- Add the desiccated coconut and condensed milk, mixing until a thick, sticky mixture forms.
- Press half of the biscuit mixture firmly into the prepared tin to create an even base.
- Spread a generous layer of jam over the base, making sure it reaches the edges.
- Spoon the remaining biscuit mixture over the jam layer and gently press down to seal.
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until completely set.
- Once firm, lift out using the parchment paper, slice into bars or squares, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the bars are well chilled before slicing for clean cuts.
- You can use any type of jam you prefer.
