Description

These Pink Coconut Snowball Cake Bars feature a rich chocolate base soaked with a creamy vanilla layer and topped with soft pink coconut for a fun and indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

2 cups shredded sweetened coconut

1 tbsp milk

Pink food coloring, a drop or two

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix melted butter with sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake bakes, melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan and stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately pour the warm condensed milk mixture over it.
  9. In a bowl, mix shredded coconut with milk and pink food coloring until evenly tinted.
  10. Sprinkle the coconut mixture evenly over the cake.
  11. Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  12. Slice into bars and serve chilled.

Notes

For extra sweetness, replace the vanilla soak with melted white chocolate.

Toast part of the coconut for a deeper flavor.

Add a thin chocolate ganache layer before the coconut for extra richness.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze for up to 1 month if needed, though texture is best fresh.
