Instructions:

  1. Prepare Coconut Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  2. Form Base: Press the coconut mixture evenly into the base of a lined baking pan, creating a flat layer. Place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.
