Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 15g coconut milk powder
- 20g coconut flour
- 5g coconut flakes
- 1-2g xantan gum
- Salt and vanilla to taste
- 30g coconut oil for deep frying
Directions
- Step 1 Whisk the egg and add dry ingredients, mix in into a dough.
- Step 2 Take one tsp of dough, add a piece oc low carb chocolate in it if you want and shape it into small balls with wet hands (the dough is sticky). The ball can be rolled in extra coconut flakes if desired.
- Step 3 Pour at least 1cm of coconut oil into a very small sauce pan (i use around 10cm diam pan for making this one small portion). Let the oil get hot, put in the balls, turn them around on every side so they turn up nice golden and crispy outside. The chocolate melts inside the coconut ball and makes it very tasty and nice to eat.
- Step 4 Garnish with some berries, low carb icing sugar, cinnamon etc.

My name is Ingrid Joya. I am educator, coach, therapist, inspirational speaker and a mother for two gorgeous girls and one keto boy. My every day starts and ends with cooking, as inspiring and tiring as it sounds. I educate people on mindful eating and special diets (keto, low carb, gluten and caseine free etc) and provide personal consultations.
My son is on long-term ketogenic diet due to health reasons, that`s where my keto journey started. It was pretty rough in the beginning, but quite soon i realized that even very restricted diet (like keto) can be tasteful, versatile and enjoyable. I have learned that food is also our medicine, it heals our body, feeds our soul and brings us together. There is great power in every herb, flower, fruit and root, and in love we put into cooking. All together it is a playful journey from the ground to the plate.
Food, whatever kind, has to have three important components for me- it has to look good, it has to taste good and it has to be good for the body and soul! I started out writing down the recipes for me and my family, so it would be easy and fun for us to figure out what to cook tonight. Maybe you, who you are peeking through my kitchen door in this blog, will find little inspiration, too!
