A Little Stevia Makes Coconut Macaroons a Candida Dessert. Unsweetened shredded coconut, egg whites and powdered stevia are all allowed Candida foods. I prefer SweetLeaf Stevia powder.
3 large egg whites at room temperature, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the alcohol will evaporate out during cooking), 1 teaspoon of white powder SweetLeaf Stevia, 1 1 /2 cups of unsweetened finely shredded coconut, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, parchment paper.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whip egg whites and vanilla until peaks form. In a separate bowl combine the shredded coconut, stevia powder and salt. Fold about 1/3 of the shredded coconut into the whipped egg whites , fold in rest of the coconut 1/3 at a time. Let set about 5 minutes. Make drop cookies about 2 teaspoons each onto the parchment paper. Bake about 15 minutes or until they are lightly brown.
Let cool before eating and store in an air tight container. Add an almond and Drizzle sugar free chocolate syrup over this candida dessert and it become an almond joy. Or cheat just a little bit and use just a teaspoon of real chocolate syrup drizzled over the coconut macaroons.
All Stevia Desserts for a Candida diet would also be considered a low carb dessert, gluten free dessert, and a wheat free dessert. The unsweetened coconut is a good source of fiber. 1 cup of dried shredded coconut has about 9 grams of fiber. It contains vitamins B1, B2,B3, C, E ,folic acid, and the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc. source: The Coconut Oil Miracle by Bruce Fire.
Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar but does not have the sugar flavor, but becomes bitter if you use too much. So this dessert will not be sweet like regular macaroons but will not have you craving more and more.
Caution: Remember portion control when you enjoy this Candida diet dessert, Coconut Macaroons are a natural remedy for diarrhea.
