Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 500 ml water
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 100 grams konnyaku or shirataki noodles, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 100 grams sliced coconut meat
- 100 grams small squash, peeled and diced

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large pot, combine the coconut milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and almond flour to the pot, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Mix in the xanthan gum, ensuring it dissolves completely to slightly thicken the mixture.
Add the diced squash to the pot and cook until it starts to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Stir in the konnyaku or shirataki noodles and sliced coconut meat. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach leaves and vanilla extract, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
Season the mixture with a pinch of salt to taste, adjusting sweetness if necessary.
Allow the binignit to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled depending on preference.
