Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough extra paper on the sides to easily lift the coconut candy out once it is set.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut oil and sugar-free sweetener.
Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved into the coconut oil, creating a smooth mixture.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the shredded coconut to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly to ensure all the coconut is well coated with the sweetened oil mixture.
Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Press down firmly to compact the mixture, which helps the candy hold together once set.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the coconut candy is firm and set.
Once firm, lift the candy block out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper.
Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 even squares or bars.
Store the sugar-free coconut candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
