Ingredients
  

For the Base:

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Blueberry Layer:

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup water

For the Coconut Cream Layer:

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight

1/4 cup powdered sugar or sweetener of choice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt.

      - Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a crumbly dough.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch (or similar size) baking dish to create an even layer.

          - Place the dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the blueberry layer.

            Make the Blueberry Layer:

              - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, cornstarch, and water.

                - Stir gently and bring the mixture to a simmer.

                  - Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the blueberries have softened and the mixture thickens.

                    - Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled base in the baking dish.

                      Prepare the Coconut Cream Layer:

                        - Open the chilled coconut milk can and scoop out the solid cream into a mixing bowl (reserve the liquid for another use, like smoothies).

                          - Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the coconut cream and whip using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

                            - Spread the whipped coconut cream evenly over the blueberry layer in the baking dish.

                              - Optional: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for added texture and flavor.

                                Freeze the Bars:

                                  - Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

                                    - When ready to serve, let the bars sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares for easier slicing.

                                      Serve and Enjoy:

                                        - Gently lift the bars out of the dish using the edges of the parchment paper (if used) and cut into squares.

                                          - Enjoy your refreshing Frozen Blueberry Coconut Cream Bars!
