Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 20 pieces Whole almonds
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they bind together, forming a moist mixture. If the mixture feels too dry, add a small amount of coconut oil until the desired consistency is reached.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture into your hands and roll it into a ball.
Flatten the ball slightly, and press one whole almond into the center of each coconut mound.
Place the prepared coconut and almond bites onto the lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth and melted.
Dip each coconut and almond bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Return the chocolate-coated bites to the baking sheet.
Once all the bites are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
