Blueberry Bliss Bars - My Whole Food Life

 

These yummy bliss bars are vegan, gluten free and paleo.  This was my first time using creamed coconut and I have to say that it was pretty much exactly like coconut butter.  The only difference I noticed, was that creamed coconut seemed to soften faster out of the fridge.

Another great thing you could do with these no bake bars is drizzle a little of my 3 ingredient chocolate over the top.  Yum!  If you do that, then you will need to keep the bars in the freezer.

A no bake treat perfect for summer!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, leaving enough room for some paper to stick out the sides.
  3. Dump the mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly. The mixture is very thick and you may need to wet a spatula to help spread it evenly.
  4. Once the mixture is in the pan. Gently press down using the extra sides of parchment paper.
  5. Stick the pan in the fridge to firm up. This should only take about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Once the mixture is firm, lift the whole thing out by the edges of parchment paper.
  7. I used a pizza cutter to cut mine into squares.

Recipe Notes

UPDATE: Some brands of creamed coconut will cause these to stay soft in the fridge. If you find that happens to you, just pop the bars in the freezer instead. You can also use coconut butter in place of creamed coconut

Please store these bars in the fridge. I keep mine in an airtight container with a piece of parchment between each bar. They should last at least a week in the fridge and you can also freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy!

    1. Shredded coconut will make coconut butter, which you can use in this recipe. Here is how you make coconut butter. https://mywholefoodlife.com/2013/07/08/homemade-coconut-butter/

    1. I guess there are a lot of different kinds of creamed coconut. :( mine firmed up just fine. Can you try freezing it instead of refrigerating?

    1. I am not sure the calories per serving, but I got 10 bars out of my batch. You can also cut into squares instead for a smaller serving.

  11. Thank you, thank you, thank you! These are amazing and I am a pregnant woman who craves coconut anything lately and have always loved blueberries. These are perfect!

  13. My friend and I tried making these bars, but they came out NOTHING like how there were supposed to look like. I think it was due to us not being prepared and having all of the right ingredients. But we want to try again because they look great!

  14. Just slid these in the freezer to stiffen up. I used: 2 boxes of LET'S DO ORGANIC creamed coconut (7 oz. ea. ) dissolved in 1 c. hot water 2 c. frozen blueberries (heaping) 2 scoops PLANT FUSION protein powder (vanilla flavor) 1/4 c. local maple syrup 1 tsp. scraped vanilla bean 1 tsp. rosewater They came out the most beautiful shade of purple, not speckled as shown. The leftovers from the spatula tasted decadent to say the least. Can't wait to try an actual "bar". I added protein powder because I really wanted these to be more than dessert. Rosewater was a spontaneous addition but it works well with the other flavors and adds depth. Thank you for this recipe! I can't wait to try another variety- maybe with a handful of raspberries? Or flax meal instead of protein powder?

    1. I have never cooked with rosewater. Are there some health benefits to it? I think raspberries would be delicious as well!

  18. Thank you for a wonderful recipe and idea! I have no access to creamed coconut this week, but do have a spare tub of coconut yoghurt in the fridge. I'm going to make adaptions and additions to make this work for me and my pantry - but of course full credit and gratitude to you! I have only frozen blueberries at the moment, so I expect a bright purple thing happening. It's summer here (Australia) so a perfect snack/dessert treat!

      1. Yep. I froze it. (so glad it's summer over here!) I added soaked chia seeds, some shredded coconut, and some raw coconut oil to it, to help firm it but could still see that it wasn't going to be a slice! (a lovely pudding, perhaps). Anyway I froze it then cut it into slices, then back in the freezer. The kids love it to munch on as it's very like a blueberry/cocounut ice cream. I can also throw a block into a smoothie mix for extra yumminess!

  19. Hello. I am wondering about the process for your creamed coconut. My package states to dissolve in water first (as does another comment here by Celina) but in your instructions it doesn't state that part. Can you tell me if that is process is needed before using the creamed coconut? Thank you

    1. I used cream of coconut in this recipe, which is actually coconut butter. When I am using coconut cream, I follow the instructions in this post. Minus the strawberries. https://mywholefoodlife.com/2014/05/03/strawberry-mousse/

      1. Thank you Melissa, there seems to be some discrepancy/confusion on which coconut product is used in this recipe. I'll wing it. Thank you for your reply.

        1. Creamed coconut is different from coconut cream. Creamed coconut is also called coconut butter. Coconut cream or milk will be too runny. You can also make your own out of a simple bag of shredded coconut, time and a food processor - I have just made myself some for the first time as it is hard to come by (and expensive) here in NZ

  20. I have been coveting these for a few weeks, and after finally finding a jar of creamed coconut, I can finally get out all the blueberries I picked that are in the freezer. I have come across a link to make your own creamed coconut/coconut butter and it is so easy and cheap! All you need is a bag of shredded coconut/descicated coconut and some patience. Keep scraping down the bowl. I thought it was never going to come together, but it has WORKED! The jar I bought (from New Zealand) was over $9 NZD and was not enough for this recipe. I bought a 250g bag of shredded cocount for $2.50 NZD and I think I almost have 2 cups worth and will top up what I need for the jar. Seems it's more readily available elsewhere, but I have been searching for weeks! And it is very expensive to buy online. Hope this helps someone else. I am about to pop in all the other ingredients now - watch this space! Thank you for the recipe :-)

    2. Wow! it is FANTASTIC - need to edit that my 250g packed of dried coconut only made just under a cup of creamed coconut so i opened up my expensive jar to make up the rest. Absolutely devine! Thank you
