Summery, exotic Caribbean feeling - that's what the "Bounty" bar stands for, which has actually been around since 1951. In the classic version, coconut flakes are covered in milk chocolate, but a dark version is also available. Neither is vegan. We're changing that today and making a refreshing ice cream bar directly from it. Very little effort and easy to store in the freezer until the ice cream craving comes.

01
Knead the coconut flakes, agave syrup, ground almonds, optional ground vanilla, coconut cream and almond paste with your hands. Add a little more coconut flakes if needed.
02
Form 8 - 10 bars from the mixture with your hands. Flatten the bars on the work surface on all sides and pat lightly until they have a compact, square shape. Place in the freezer for about 15 - 20 minutes.
03
Slowly melt the chocolate coating with coconut oil in a bain-marie. Quickly turn the cooled coconut bars one by one in the melted chocolate coating and, using two forks, place them next to each other on a plate covered with baking paper. Then place back in the freezer for another 20 minutes.
04
Heat the remaining couverture again in a bain-marie and drizzle over the chocolate bars in stripes. Allow the coconut bars to set once more in the freezer. Allow to defrost briefly before eating.
Tip: Store the bars in a fresh-keeping box, separated from each other by baking paper or greaseproof paper.
