Ingredients
- 1. 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut 2. 1/2 cup lime juice (about 4 limes) 3. 1 can (14 oz) coconut cream 4. 1/2 cup granulated erythritol 5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 6. 1/4 teaspoon salt 7. 8 oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa for keto
- friendly) 8. 1/3 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine shredded coconut and erythritol. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut cream, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Gradually pour the hot mixture into the food processor with the coconut erythritol mixture. Process until well combined and a dough forms.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal. Press the dough evenly into the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
- In a double boiler, gently melt chocolate and coconut oil together. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Remove the coconut layer from the refrigerator. Cut it into bite sized squares. Dip each square into the chocolate mixture to coat, and place on a parchment lined tray. Return to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or until firm.
- Serve chilled with a warm cup of keto friendly coffee or tea, letting the flavors dance together in harmony.
