Ingredients
  

For the Coconut Layer:

1 cup full-fat coconut cream

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

For the Pineapple Layer:

2 cups fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

1/4 cup coconut water (or regular water)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

For Garnish (optional):

Additional shredded coconut

Zest of one lime

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coconut Layer:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the full-fat coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and well integrated. Gently fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

      Pour into Molds:

        - Carefully pour half of the coconut mixture into silicone molds or a small baking dish lined with parchment paper, ensuring it is spread evenly. Lightly tap the mold on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles.

          Freeze:

            - Transfer the mold to the freezer and allow the coconut layer to freeze for approximately 30 minutes, or until it feels firm to the touch.

              Prepare the Pineapple Layer:

                - While the coconut layer is freezing, place the pineapple chunks, coconut water, lime juice, and honey (if using) in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency. Taste and add more honey or maple syrup for sweetness if desired.

                  Pour the Pineapple Layer:

                    - Once the coconut layer has firmed up, pour the prepared pineapple mixture over it, making sure to spread it evenly. For a decorative touch, sprinkle some extra shredded coconut on top.

                      Final Freeze:

                        - Return the mold to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the entire dish is completely solid.

                          Serve:

                            - When you're ready to enjoy, carefully remove the bars from the molds (if you used a baking dish, lift out using the edges of the parchment paper). Slice into bars or squares. For a refreshing finish, sprinkle with fresh lime zest if you like.

                              Enjoy:

                                - Store any leftovers in the freezer for a cool, tropical treat anytime! Delight in your Coconut Pineapple Bars as a refreshing and healthy snack.
