These Raspberry Coconut Magic Bars are creamy, nutritious and a guaranteed hit with coconut lovers. There are three mouthwatering layers: a base of almonds, dates and coconut; a middle layer of creamy cheesecake with raspberry, and a melted chocolate topping with more coconut!

We love to make them in summer when it’s too hot for baking, and you only need 15 minutes of prep before they go into the fridge to firm up. These magic bars are one of my go-to recipes for a potluck or BBQ. It’s also a great activity to do with the kids!

How to Make Raspberry Coconut Bars

While the three layers sound complicated, making these bars is actually a cinch. Here’s how to do it:

  • Base: Pulverize almonds, pitted dates, coconut flakes to a coarse texture in a food processor or blender.
  • Middle Layer: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and raspberries in a mixing bowl.
  • Topping: spread melted chocolate and top with coconut flakes

First, line a square baking pan or loaf pan with parchment or foil. Then, use a spatula to press the base layer in first. Next, spread the cream cheese layer. Last, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly across the top.

Chill for 4 hours to firm up before serving. If you’re in a hurry, you can freeze for one hour instead.
