Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until they become golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the sesame seeds from the skillet and set them aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet, add the unsweetened shredded coconut and lightly toast it over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned. Stir frequently and then set aside with the sesame seeds.
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the erythritol and stir until it dissolves completely, creating a smooth syrup.
Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the syrup, stirring them in until well mixed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the toasted sesame seeds and coconut to the syrup. Stir quickly to ensure all seeds and coconut are coated with the syrup.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the sesame mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly to about 1/4-inch thick using a spatula.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or until it hardens completely.
Once hardened, break the sesame candy into small pieces or cut it into squares.
Store the keto sesame candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
