If you love the classic candy bar, these Bounty Slices are a dream come true. They are actually “easier” than the candy because you don’t have to dip individual bars in chocolate—you just layer them in a pan and slice!
The secret to that signature “squishy” Bounty texture is sweetened condensed milk.
🥥 15-Minute “Bounty” Coconut Slices (No-Bake)
The Ingredients
- 3 cups (250g) Shredded coconut (unsweetened is best to balance the sugar)
- 1 can (300ml) Sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (100g) Butter, melted
- Pinch of salt (to make the coconut flavor pop)
The Chocolate Topping:
- 200g (7 oz) Milk chocolate (or dark if you prefer)
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil (makes the chocolate glossy and easier to slice)
The Easy Preparation
- The Snow: In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, melted butter, and a pinch of salt.
- The Bind: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until every flake of coconut is coated and sticky.
- The Press: Line a square baking tin (8×8 inch) with parchment paper. Press the coconut mixture into the pan. Press hard! The firmer you pack it, the more “authentic” the texture will be.
- The Melt: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together (microwave in 20-second bursts or use a double boiler).
- The Glaze: Pour the smooth chocolate over the coconut layer and tilt the pan to spread it evenly.
- The Set: Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
💡 Why This is “Addictive”
- The Texture: By using condensed milk, you get that moist, dense, “chewy” interior that regular milk or cream can’t replicate.
- The “Easy” Factor: There is zero baking involved. It’s a perfect “prep and forget” dessert.
👵 Grandma’s “Pro” Tips
- The “Waves”: If you want them to look exactly like the real thing, wait 10 minutes for the chocolate to set slightly in the fridge, then take a fork and draw wavy lines across the top.
- Warm Knife Hack: To prevent the chocolate from cracking when you cut the slices, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between every single cut. It will glide through like butter.
🥗 A “Light” Alternative
If you want something a little less sweet, you can swap the condensed milk for thick coconut cream (the solid part from the top of a chilled can) and a bit of maple syrup. It’s slightly fluffier but still delicious.
