Pro Tips
• For a smoother, non-gritty texture, use a powdered or liquid sweetener. If you only have granulated, pulse it in a coffee grinder for a few seconds to create a fine powder.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of high-quality sea salt to the mixture to enhance the coconut flavor and balance the sweetness.
• For a crunchier texture, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden before mixing it in.
