Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
4 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
3 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Pinch of salt
Directions
Prepare a square baking dish or small container by lining it with parchment paper. This will make removing the cubes much easier once frozen.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut flour. Stir well so the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the monk fruit sweetener and a small pinch of salt. Mix again to ensure the sweetener is spread throughout the mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Transfer the coconut mixture into the prepared container. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.
Place the container in the freezer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until completely firm.
Once frozen, lift the mixture out using the parchment paper and cut into small cubes.
Serve immediately for a frozen treat or allow the cubes to soften for 2 to 3 minutes before enjoying for a creamier texture.
