Sherri and I are in the process of writing the next book in the FAT TO SKINNY Series, the FAT TO SKINNY Low Sugar, Low Carb BAKERY! But I didn't want to wait one more second before I shared this terrific recipe with you. I love coconut and I love macaroons but I hate sugar. Here's a recipe that's fast, easy and wonderful Make sure to make comments after you try them! YUM YUM.

BEST Sugar Free Macaroons Ever!

4 egg whites
3 ½ cups un-sweetened shredded coconut
36 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Combine all ingredients .Place in  double boiler. Put stove on simmer and stir occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning. Make sure mixture is hot and has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. With a medium-sized cookie scoop, drop batter onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are dark golden brown.Will firm upon cooling.Refrigerate

Enjoy!

there's no almond meal or anything? Just coconut and eggs?

[Doug Varrieur]

correct and they are wonderful....remember to buy unsweetened coconut  yum yum!

[owensmath]

The directions above say sweetened coconut. Is that right? All I saw at the grocery store last night was sweetened coconut. Any suggestions on where to find unsweetened? I'd like to use it, but don't want the sugar......I mean, poison!  : )

[beebs]

He means unsweetened. Sometimes you have to look real hard to find what you want, or maybe try a  different store.

[owensmath]

I didn't think Mr. NO SUGAR would tell us to buy something poisoned! LOL 

[Doug Varrieur]

OOPS!!!  The original recipe had a typo and called for sweetened coconut, it should have read unsweetened. It has now been corrected.

My order of Xylitol came yesterday, and I made this recipe last night....WOW!!!!  Delicious!  (Tasted so good, I felt like I was cheating!)  If anyone is having trouble finding the unsweetened coconut, I found it at Publix!

Yum, those look like the Snakaroons from Laughing Giraffe without the carbs!! Going to have to try them for sure. 

Bob's Red Mill has an unsweetened shredded coconut. Netrition sells it as does,  www.nutsonline.com, www.sunfood.com, as does www.tropicaltraditions.com who BTW has a resealable 1 gallon container, which is 3.5 pounds for $11.25 until 10/10/10.

Look in the baking section of the store as well as the freezer section for unsweetened coconut.

[Maddysmom]

You are right....I found it at publix in the baking section. It was a little crunchy and a bit dry.  I bet the frozen unsweet coconut would make the macaroons even better!

By the way....Welcome Frosty!!!
