How to Make Carrés Coco Chocolat No-Bake Delight

PIN IT

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate

Melt the dark chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Stir until creamy and well blended.

Step 3: Add Coconut & Chocolate

Fold in the desiccated coconut, followed by the melted chocolate. Mix until everything is evenly coated and thick — the texture should be dense but spreadable.

Step 4: Press into Pan

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or your hands.

Step 5: Chill Until Set

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.

Step 6: Slice & Serve

Lift from the pan, cut into neat squares, and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
