COCONUT FILING:

1 cup shredded coconut
¼ cup coconut cream
2 tbsp. Erythritol powder
One tsp. vanilla extract
Salt

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

COCONUT FILING:

Coconut oil is the foundation for the chocolate coating. It gives the cups a pleasant snap when you bite into them by helping the chocolate solidify when iced.

UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:

We have to use the premium unsweetened cocoa for optimal flavor. This gives you a deep, rich chocolate flavor without any additional sugar.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

Erythritol powder is a common keto sweetener that doesn’t ruin the keto diet. Erythritol powder guarantees that the sweetener dissolves smoothly and doesn’t have a grainy texture.

VANILLA ESSENCE:

Vanilla essence is used to give the flavor depth to both the chocolate & coconut layers. You can also try using mint or almond extract for an alternative twist.

UNSWEETENED COCONUT SHREDS:

Unsweetened coconut shreds give the filling taste and texture. We have to make sure it isn’t sweetened to keep the carb count modest.

COCONUT CREAM:

Coconut cream is obtained from the thick portion of canned coconut milk and gives the creamy quality of the coconut filling. It preserves the flavor and moisture of the filling.

We can melt the coconut oil over a double boiler or in a basin with the help of a microwave.
Now we can add the salt, vanilla, cocoa powder, sweetener, and stir till it gets smooth.
We can fill the bottom of each silicone muffin cup with one or two teaspoons of the chocolate mixture.
Then tilt the cup to evenly coat the bottom of the cup and put the cups in the freezer to set.
We can add the salt, coconut cream, sweetener, vanilla, & shredded coconut and mix all the components with the spatula.
Now we can spread roughly 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture over the set chocolate layer in each cup, then we can gently press down the mixture with the spatula.
Then we can cover the coconut layer in each cup with the remaining chocolate and smooth the top of the cup with the spoon.
We can refrigerate the cups for about 30 minutes or until they get completely firm.

TIPS:

We can add a drop of almond extract or peppermint to the chocolate for an additional flavor.
You can lightly toast the shredded coconut for a nuttier taste.
