No-Bake Coconut Delights

By coffeycake

Ingredients

• Optional Toppings:
• 3 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
• 3/8 cup (6 Tablespoons) coconut oil
• 1/2 cup sweetener (for candida friendly I used xylitol. My Sugar Substitute would work great as well. Subbing 4 scoops stevia extract would work as well. Make the healthiest choice you can.)
• 2 tsps vanilla (I recommend an alcohol free version like this one since you will not be baking these)
• 3/8 tsp salt (I recommend Real Salt)
• Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips melted, for drizzle, coconut shreds, finely chopped nuts, etc.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender.

2. Combine until the mixture is blended and sticks together. (Note: if you are using a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, do not turn your machine on high. You will likely end up with Coconut Butter. While it will be delicious, it won’t be these no bake cookies :-) !)

3. Remove the mixture from the blender / food processor and form into desired shape. I really like the cute little shapes I was able to make with this little cookie scoop. I had a little trouble with the “balls” falling apart but just gently press them back into the desired shape.
