Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- 2
Beat the dairy free spread and erythritol together for 2 minutes until creamy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, lime zest and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
- 3
Mix in the desiccated coconut, coconut flour, baking powder and salt to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Leave for 5 minutes, as the coconut flour soaks up the liquid.
- 4
Roll into 12 balls and set them well apart on the tray. Press each flat to about 1.5 cm thick with the back of a spoon.
- 5
Bake for 13 minutes, until the edges are golden. They feel soft when hot and firm up as they cool.
13 min - 6
Leave on the tray for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack. Keep in a tin for up to 4 days.
