Ingredients

FILLING:

  • 7.6 ounces Nestle table cream or heavy cream
  • 1 cup low carb sugar substitute I used about 1 teaspoon SweetLeaf stevia drops
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 50 unsalted roasted almonds leave these out to make Mounds candy bars

Chocolate Coating:

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together table cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix in the unsweetened coconut.
  • Using about one tablespoon of coconut mixture each, form into a log and set onto a parchment paper or silicon mat lined baking sheet.
  • Place two almonds on each log (or omit nuts if making Mounds bars).
  • Put baking sheet of logs into freezer while making chocolate coating.
  • In a chocolate melter or double boiler, melt all chocolate coating ingredients together.
  • Remove the coconut logs from the freezer.
  • Place each coconut almond log on a fork and dip bottom into melted chocolate. Then use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over top and sides until log is completely covered in chocolate.
  • Wipe excess chocolate off bottom of fork on side of melter and then set on non-stick sheet to harden.
  • Repeat steps until each log is covered in chocolate.
  • Place finished sheets of candy in refrigerator.
  • Let sit at least an hour then remove and place in covered container. Store in refrigerator.
