Como fazer Caribbean Coco Almond Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Butter the foil.
- In a food processor (or large bowl with a pastry blender), combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup almond flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped almonds and 1 tablespoon of dark rum (optional).
- Press the dough firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and the edges are set.
- Cool slightly on a wire rack.
- While the crust cools, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once the crust is firm but still warm, pour the coconut filling evenly over the crust.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the chocolate topping, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Stir well.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled coconut filling.
- Sprinkle with additional chopped almonds and/or shredded coconut, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before cutting into bars. Bring to room temperature for optimal flavor and texture before serving.
