Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat until it is completely liquid.
Add the erythritol sweetener to the melted coconut oil and stir continuously until completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
If you are making chocolate coconut candy, stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully combined.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to the liquid mixture and stir until the coconut is evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming small mounds.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the candies are firm and set.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy your homemade low-carb coconut candy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
