Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 60 grams almond flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 60 milliliters coconut oil
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well until evenly mixed.
Add erythritol (or your chosen low-carb sweetener) to the dry ingredients, mixing to remove any clumps.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until it's in liquid form. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the melted coconut oil and vanilla mixture into the coconut and cocoa mixture.
Add a pinch of salt to the bowl. Combine everything until a thick dough forms. You may use a silicone spatula or your hands to ensure all ingredients are uniformly mixed.
Once mixed, take a tablespoon of the dough and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing each finished ball onto a lined or greased baking sheet or tray.
Allow the chocolate coconut balls to firm up by placing them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
