Ingredients
- 100 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 150 ml coconut cream
- 50 grams granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 10 pieces whole cloves
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut cream, and granulated erythritol.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt to the mixture.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue stirring. Allow the mixture to cook for 10-15 minutes or until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Step 5
Once thickened, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly until it's comfortable to handle.
Step 6
Using your hands, roll small portions of the mixture into balls, about the size of a walnut.
Step 7
If desired, lightly coat each ball in additional shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
Step 8
Garnish each Beijinho with a whole clove pressed into the center.
Step 9
Place the finished Beijinhos on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
