Description
A delightful low-carb treat that combines the rich flavors of pistachios and coconut, perfect for guilt-free snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for a chocolate version)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or more as needed)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the softened cream cheese and almond milk to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency.
- Fold in the finely chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- If making the chocolate version, add the cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.
- Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a log, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap it tightly in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once chilled, remove the log from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider rolling the log in crushed pistachios or shredded coconut before slicing.
- Substitute the pistachios with other nuts like walnuts or pecans for a different taste profile.
