Inspired by my friends, here is the recipe for home made bounty bars. Hubby being a mallu loves Bounty due to the coconut filling inside. I too love bounty and thus, this sure was a super hit.
Ingredients (Makes 18 bite sized bounty squares):
How I made it :
Ingredients (Makes 18 bite sized bounty squares):
- 1 cup + 1/4 cup grated fresh coconut
- 1/3 cup milkmaid
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence/powder
- 1tbsp honey
- 5oz cooking chocolate
How I made it :
- Grate and keep coconut aside.
- In microwave safe bowl, mix the milkmaid, icing sugar, vanilla essence and honey.
- Heat in microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Mix well.
- Repeat step 3, until you see the mixture turning colour, basically caramelizing. This is called Maillard reaction. This was the first time I was trying this in my microwave and so I was extra careful and this kind of affected the taste of the bounty filling. Basically this mixture should turn golden brown and be sticky like caramel.
- Once you get that, mix in the coconut. Keep in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Shape into squares. Keep in fridge to firm up over night.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler. I usually use the microwave. Put into a micro safe bowl and heat at 50% power for 1 minute. Mix. Repeat if needed until chocolate has melted. This can not be done at 100% power cause the chocolate can seize if overheated. Also, ensure that the bowl is free of any water else that too could cause your chocolate to seize.
- Get the coconut bars out of the frige. Drop into melted chocolate. Use a fork to turn them around and fish them out and lay out baking paper to firm up and the chocolate layer to set.
- Bounty bars are ready to pop in.
