Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 200 ml coconut cream
- 50 grams powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
- 15 grams butter (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut cream and powdered erythritol. Stir until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the optional butter for enhanced creaminess if desired. Stir continuously to avoid the mixture from sticking to the pan.
Once the mixture starts to heat up, add the unsweetened shredded coconut. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens and looks like a cohesive dough. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it's comfortable to handle but still warm enough to be pliable.
Using your hands, scoop small amounts of the mixture and roll into balls about the size of a cherry.
For extra flair and flavor, you can roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder or additional shredded coconut.
Place the rolled Keto Beijinhos on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances their flavor.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
