- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut: Make sure you read the label and ensure that you are buying unsweetened coconut.
- Sweetener - I use Swerve confectioners, but any powdered sugar sweetener works here.
- Salt: My go-to is fine sea salt. If you are using a different type of salt, adjust the quantity accordingly.
