Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough extra paper on the sides to easily lift the coconut candy out once it is set.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut oil and sugar-free sweetener.
Step 3
Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved into the coconut oil, creating a smooth mixture.
Step 4
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Add the shredded coconut to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly to ensure all the coconut is well coated with the sweetened oil mixture.
Step 6
Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Press down firmly to compact the mixture, which helps the candy hold together once set.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the coconut candy is firm and set.
Step 9
Once firm, lift the candy block out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper.
Step 10
Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 even squares or bars.
Step 11
Store the sugar-free coconut candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
