Ingredients

- 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 1 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2/3 cup full-fat shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
- 1 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3 tbsp oil or butter (omit if desired)
Instructions
- *The oil or butter version will taste much more like traditional magic bar crust, while the oil free version has a softer crust that some find gummy (but not everyone minds), so it’s completely your choice.To make the recipe: Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper (or grease very well). Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a bowl, toss the cracker crumbs with sweetener and optional oil. Only if using a dry sweetener and no oil, also add 2 tbsp water. Spread evenly into the pan, and press down. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl, spread on top of the crust, and place on the oven center rack. Bake 35 minutes. Remove and let cool, then freeze until chilled and firm enough to cut. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
