How to Make No-Bake Coconut Macaroon Cake

PIN IT

This recipe comes together so easily it almost feels suspicious

Step 1: Prepare the pan

Line loaf pan or square baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Step 2: Make the coconut mixture

In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and coconut cream.

Mix until thick, sticky, and scoopable.

The texture should resemble soft macaroon filling.

Step 3: Press into layers

Press half the mixture firmly into the prepared pan.

Smooth evenly using spatula or slightly damp hands.

Step 4: Create second layer

Add remaining coconut mixture and press gently again.

This creates that thick bakery-style macaroon texture.

Step 5: Make chocolate glaze

Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil and coconut cream until silky smooth.

Honestly the smell here is unreal

Step 6: Pour glaze over cake

Spread chocolate evenly over coconut layer.

Optional but highly recommended: sprinkle toasted coconut and flaky sea salt on top.

Step 7: Chill until firm

Refrigerate until fully set before slicing.

The hardest part is waiting.
