Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup Swerve Confectioners
  • 1 tsp coconut extract
  • ¼ tsp xanthan gum
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 16 raw almonds
  • 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a baking sheet.
  2. In a saucepan, boil and reduce heavy cream for 5 minutes. Whisk in sweetener, coconut extract, and xanthan gum. Stir in shredded coconut.
  3. Beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the coconut mixture.
  4. Drop 16 mounds onto the baking sheet, pressing an almond into each. Bake 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
  5. Cool completely. Melt chocolate and coconut oil. Dip cookie bottoms in chocolate.
  6. Drizzle remaining chocolate over cookies. Refrigerate 30 minutes to set.

Notes

- To ensure stiff peaks for your egg whites, make sure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease. Any fat can prevent them from whipping properly.
- For a perfect set, refrigerate your keto macaroons for at least 30 minutes after dipping in chocolate. This ensures a firm, non-messy coating. - Storage: Store these macaroons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
