For the Macaroons
▢
3 large egg whites
▢
3 tbsp powdered sweetener
▢
3 tbsp / 40g coconut butter melted
▢
2 cup / 200g desiccated coconut unsweetened

2 tbsp powdered sweetener
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 175 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
Whisk the egg whites in a dry and grease-free glass or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Add the melted coconut butter and vanilla extract and mix.
Now stir in the desiccated coconut.
Form balls with a flat surface and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Melt unsweetened chocolate in the microwave (in 30 second bursts) or in a double boiler. Stir in 2 tbsp powdered sweetener and dip the macaroons into the chocolate. Place back onto the parchment paper and cool in the fridge until the chocolate is set.
Net carbs: 1.7g per macaroon.
Don”t have unsweetened chocolate? Here are some other options:
make your own sugar free chocolate – it’s really easy and tastes DELICIOUS
melt ready-made sugar free chocolate such as Nick’s (in the UK) or Lily’s (in the US)
use 90% dark chocolate such as Lindt – it has a very low sugar content
Coconut macaroons are filling – one macaroon at a time was fine for me.
