Keto coconut chocolate cups are an easy sweet treat and best of all are low carb and gluten free. The coconut case has a light coconut macaroon texture with a creamy chocolate filling.
Since I have a surplus of desiccated coconut and there are only so many macaroons or coconut flans you can make, so I tried these tasty low carb cups to use up the surplus. The coconut is used to make the tart cases and holds up very well. The chocolate filling is delicious and I did make one version with a large dash of rum (naughty but nice).
How To Make Low Carb Coconut Chocolate Cups
I have used both a large and mini muffin tin to make these coconut chocolate cups and loved both. I think the mini cups make a more delicate treat without the chocolate cream centre being too rich. Hey, who I am kidding, make them large and glorious! Although unsweetened desiccated coconut is fairly low carb, chocolate is not so much, so perhaps to keep the carbs lower, cocoa powder instead could be used.
A great holiday touch to these tasty coconut desserts would be a dash of rum!
