Sugar Free Keto Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy

Sugar Free Keto Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy reminds me of bite sized "Mounds" or "Bounty" candy.

However, unlike the famous candy, this recipe has no added sugar in it.
 

Sugar Free Keto Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy

 
This is a tasty recipe for making chocolate covered coconut bites.
Even better, this recipe has no added sugar making it sugar free as well as being low in carbohydrates.

 

Did you try my recipe for Sugar Free Chocolate Truffles (keto, low carb )?

That is another recipe for a sugar free and keto low carb diet friendly bite sized treat.
Both this recipe for chocolate covered coconut balls and that chocolate truffle ball recipe would go nicely together on a dessert tray or table.

To make this recipe you will need unsweetened coconut. You can find unsweetened coconut flakes and shreds here.

 

People often ask what are coconut balls made of.

The bulk of this recipe is coconut.
You can use shredded coconut or flaked coconut as long as the coconut has not been sweetened.

This really a simple no bake five ingredient recipe.
The coconut is mixed with the other ingredients that add flavor and texture.
It is then topped with the sugar free chocolate.
 

What is the difference between shredded and flaked coconut?

 

In this recipe you can use either flaked or shredded coconut.
You can eve use a combination of the two choices.
 

What makes this candy so tasty is the coconut mixed with the other ingredients.
In this recipe the main difference between shredded and flaked coconut is that the flaked coconut is larger.
The result of the larger coconut is really more about structure than about flavor.

 

Here are some tips for making keto no bake coconut balls.

Adding chopped nuts to the coconut is one way to add some flavor and texture.
Another option is to add the chopped nuts on top just after coating the candy balls with the melted chocolate.

More tips for you.

1. Using a melon baller can be helpful when scooping and shaping the ingredients. Give the baller a quick spray of nonstick if things get stickie.
2. If your hands get sticky when working to get the balls into shape, simply sprinkle some sugar free powdered sugar on your hands. You can also refrigerate the mix for a few minutes if it seems too mushy.
3. This recipe calls for unsweetened condensed milk. You can find keto and sugar free friendly condensed milk here or use this recipe for how to make sugar free condensed milk to make your own.

How to make Sugar Free Keto Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy

 

• Start by mixing prepping a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set this aside while you work. In a large bowl combine together the sugar free powdered sugar, coconut, and condensed milk. When it gets too thick you can use your hands as needed.
• Use a scoop or large spoon to scoop out the balls, working each ball into a 1 to 1 ½" ball. Place each of the balls on to the prepped baking sheet and then refrigerate the coconut balls for about a half hour or until firm.
• When you are ready to coat the balls, using a microwave safe bowl or a double boiler method, melt together the chocolate chips and margarine (or coconut oil).

  In a microwave, using a microwave safe bowl, simply microwave, stopping every 30 seconds to stir until the ingredients have melted together. Using the double boiler method entails simmering the water and then placing the chocolate and margarine or coconut oil in a bowl on top and stirring until melted.

• To cover the balls in chocolate, simply use a fork or spoon to dip each individual ball into the chocolate and then place the ball back on to the baking sheet. Allow this to set.
