Description

The most decadent and delicious Seven Layer Bars recipe that you won’t even be able to tell they are dairy-free/vegan!


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cup graham crackers, crushed (sub gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted (measure solid, not melted)

Topping:

  • 11.25oz can dairy-free sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled & crushed
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, crushed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of parchment that will fit across a square baking pan with parts overhanging on each side – these will allow you to pop out the bars after they have cooled.
  2. Crust: Combine crushed graham crackers and melted vegan butter in a small bowl. Pour into a 8×8 or 9×9 pan (with parchment paper) and press crumb mixture into the bottom, ensuring it covers the entire pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool. We recommend placing in the fridge for 10 minutes, so it cools faster. 
  3. Layer: Evenly spread the coconut flakes, chocolate chips and pistachios on top of the crust, leaving a small amount of each item to sprinkle on the top later. Pour dairy-free sweetened condensed milk on top, spreading it to make sure it covers everything evenly, and then sprinkle the leftover ingredients on top of that.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Cool + Serve: Let cool and then place in fridge to set, preferably overnight. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Dairy-Free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk: we used this dairy free sweetened condensed milk, but feel free to use regular or one that is available in your grocery store.
  • Crust: If the crust feels a little wet after mixing, just crush up another graham cracker and add it in.
