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.
- 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.
- 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.
