Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Pre-Cooking Prep

Mix until a soft dough forms.

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Doneness or Texture Check

Remove the crust from the oven.

In a separate bowl, lightly mash the raspberries and mix them with the eggs.

Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust.

Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes.

Resting or Final Touches

Allow the keto raspberry coconut bars to cool completely before slicing.

Optional finishing touches include:
