Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut
¾ cup pecans, chopped
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square pan with foil and grease with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch.
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.
Reduce speed and gradually add flour mixture until a dough forms.
Transfer dough to the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and press evenly into the bottom.
Remove plastic wrap and bake crust for 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over crust, followed by shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
Pour sweetened condensed milk over the top to cover the surface.
Bake 30–40 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly.
Cool completely before slicing into 9 squares. Enjoy!
Notes
For neater slices, chill bars slightly before cutting.
Swap pecans for walnuts or leave out for a nut-free version.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
These bars keep well covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
