3 Ingredient Keto No Bake Coconut Balls
These no bake coconut balls are low carb, low sugar and keto-friendly. They take only 3 ingredients and don't require any baking or cooking.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (165g) whole milk plain Greek yogurt, see note before starting
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) sugar-free honey flavored syrup, see note before starting
- 1 cup (70g) finely shredded unsweetened coconut, plus additional 1/4 cup (17g) for rolling, see note
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add yogurt and syrup to a large mixing bowl and mix until evenly combined. Stir in the coconut until evenly combined. Your mixture should be thick and scoopable. If it's not thick enough, you can add more coconut until it becomes a paste-like texture. Taste, and if needed, you can add slightly more syrup (about 1/2 tbsp). Place the mixture into the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly more. Add remaining 1/4 cup of coconut to a small bowl and set aside.
- Use a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the mixture. Release the ball and coat the ball in the small bowl of coconut. Then gently roll the ball between your palms to form a round ball. Place the ball onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture. If you are finding your mixture is too wet or sticky to work with, you can add more coconut to the mixture.
- Place balls into the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up further. The balls are then ready to eat. Store uneaten balls in the fridge in an airtight container.
Notes
- Yogurt note: Make sure to use a thick, whole milk Greek yogurt. You can also use Icelandic yogurt, which is usually thicker than Greek yogurt.
- Coconut note: This recipe works best with very finely shredded coconut which bind better. You may need to add a little more coconut to the mixture to reach the right amount of thickness. The amount can vary depending on the coconut you are using and the amount of moisture in your yogurt. I made this with Let's Do Organic Unsweetened Coconut.*
- Syrup note: Use a thick syrup so that the mixture is not too wet. I used ChocZero honey flavored syrup.*
