Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut oil (or melted butter), powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until well combined. If the mixture seems too wet or loose, you can add a tablespoon of coconut flour to help bind it together.
- Shape the Mixture:
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls or bars. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you prefer, you can press them into silicone molds for a more uniform shape.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the shaped coconut joys for about 30 minutes to an hour, or until they firm up.
- Optional Chocolate Coating:
- If you want to coat them in chocolate, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Dip each coconut joy into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully covered, and return it to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final Chill:
- Place the chocolate-coated joys back in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate is set, your Keto Coconut Joys are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
These are perfect for a quick snack or a sweet treat without derailing your keto diet. Enjoy! 😊
