Description

These Raspberry Ruffle Traybake Bars are a decadent no-bake treat combining the tropical flavor of desiccated coconut with tangy raspberry jelly and a smooth chocolate topping. The bars are easy to make, perfectly sweet, and feature a delightful texture contrast with freeze-dried raspberries sprinkled on top.


Ingredients

Base

  • 350 g Desiccated coconut
  • 23 g Raspberry jelly powder
  • 397 g Condensed milk

Topping

  • 250 g Semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Freeze-dried raspberry pieces


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tin: Line an 8×8-inch baking tin with baking paper, leaving some paper overhanging the edges for easy removal of the traybake later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and raspberry jelly powder thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Add Condensed Milk: Stir the condensed milk into the dry mixture until fully combined, ensuring a sticky, well-mixed base.
  4. Press Mixture: Transfer the coconut and milk mixture into the lined tin and press it down firmly and evenly to form an even layer.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate until smooth and pourable (using a microwave or double boiler).
  6. Top the Base: Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pressed coconut mixture in the tin.
  7. Add Raspberry Pieces: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberry pieces over the top to add a tangy crunch.
  8. Chill: Place the traybake in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until the chocolate sets and hardens completely.
  9. Serve: Once set, use the overhanging baking paper to lift the traybake out of the tin. Cut into bars using a warm knife to prevent cracking the chocolate, then enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a warm knife when slicing to avoid cracking the chocolate topping.
  • Freeze-dried raspberries add a delightful tart crunch, but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Ensure chocolate is spread evenly for an even coating and neat bars.
  • Traybake can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Can be adapted with dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet flavor.
