Vegan raspberry and collagen bounty bars

Julie Mitsios

These delicious bounty bars are a wonderful, guilt-free treat that require just a few ingredients and one bowl to make.

dessertsnack
biscuits and barsfinger foodgluten-free option

Ingredients

MAKES 12

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Place the desiccated coconut and collagen powder in a food processor and process for 1 minute to create a fine consistency.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and process until everything is combined and the mixture starts to stick together. Add a little more water if needed. Place the mixture into silicone moulds and freeze for 1 hour until firm.
  3. Once the bars are firm, remove from the freezer then take them out of the moulds. Next, dip the individual bars into the melted dark chocolate and sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberries, or rose petals if using, over the bars to decorate. Place the bars in the freezer for another 30 minutes to set completely, then enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks or the freezer for 2 months.

TIP: Collagen has become very popular in recent years as a beauty booster. While animal-derived collagen has seen a surge in popularity, it’s far more effective to support healthy collagen production is through plant-based formulations such as those created by Edible Beauty – with a synergy of ingredients designed to benefit gut health, too.

They also make a vegan topical collagen: a triple-win for us, the animals, and the Earth.
