Pour mixture over frozen crust base. Place back into the freezer for 1-2 hours or until set before adding the next layer.

Chocolate Coating.
Heat coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl. Mix in cocoa and immediately pour over espresso bars. You'll need to work quickly to create an even layer. Place back in freezer.
Cut bars and enjoy! Keep in the freezer until needed.
