Low Carb Recipe Ideas
As a coconut lover I am surprised I haven’t put this recipe on sooner then this. What sparked the idea was one of my you tube followers had asked me to post a Low Carb Coconut Macaroon recipe so I got on the band wagon and created.
The key ingredient in this Low Carb Coconut Macaroon recipe is sweetened condensed milk. It’s sticky – sweet and makes the best macaroons! Well, on Low Carb that is the last ingredient we would ever think of using.
So I was out to try and substitute this ingredient with a low carb sweetened condensed milk.
I am very happy with the results and I’m sure you will be as well.
So lets get started and I will show you how to make this great recipe!
Ingredients:
Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 eggs
1 cup powdered erythritol
1/2 tablespoon maple extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Condensed Milk Instructions
In a bowl, beat the eggs then add vanilla, baking powder, salt and powdered erythritol, mix well.
You are going to add the Xanthan Gum very slowly while beating all the ingredients with an electric mixer. ( you don’t want any lumps with xanthan gum to take your time)
Once the condense milk is thick, set aside.
Ingredients for the Low Carb Coconut Macaroons
2 (200 grams) pkg unsweetened coconut
Low Carb condensed milk ( above recipe)
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Now we are going to put all our ingredients together. First I want you to take your bowl of condensed milk and add the 2 tsp of vanilla and 1 1/2 tsp almond extract, mix well.
In a large bowl, add the unsweetened coconut, pour the condensed milk over top the coconut and work until you have the coconut mixed well. ( I use a rubber glove I find it works best)
Drop coconut by spoonful onto silicon mat or parchment paper or a well greased cookie sheet Bake for 10 to 12 minute or until browned around edges.
Cool before removing from cookie sheet.
Store in a sealed container. (I always put mine in the fridge)
