Apologies for any bad formatting, I’m on mobile! This is by no means a “healthy” keto recipe, but I’ve been craving sweets and I love coconut and chocolate. I was inspired by a random Facebook video of a woman making “cookies” and modified it to be keto-friendly. Hope you enjoy 🙂
•For keto coconut condensed milk:
-1 can (400mL) unsweetened coconut milk
-2 tbsp unsalted butter
-1/3 cup sugar-free sweetener (swerve, monkfruit, erythritol, etc – I used a monkfruit-erythritol blend)
•Other ingredients:
-2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
-1 cup chopped pecans
-1 cup chopped cashews
-1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (I used Lily’s milk chocolate style chips. Use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chips to your sweetness preference)
•To make the coconut condensed milk:
Add coconut milk and butter into a medium saucepan. Bring ingredients to a boil over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent scorching.
Turn heat to low and add sugar-free sweetener, whisking until dissolved.
Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring the milk occasionally.
Allow the coconut condensed milk to cool so that it is still warm but not hot, you should be able to touch it with your finger without burning yourself. You want it to be warm enough to act as a glue for all of the ingredients without fully melting the chocolate chips.
•For clusters:
Add all of the other ingredients to the warm, but not hot, coconut condensed milk and stir until well combined. Everything should be sticky and slightly stringy. It may not hold together too well at this point, but they will once they cool.
Using an ice cream scoop, space clusters out on a silicone mat or onto a surface lightly sprayed with butter flavor non-stick baking spray. You should get 20 clusters.
Allow clusters to cool off completely in the fridge before you peel them off. Store in the fridge for best results.
