Servings: 10 balls
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup thick canned coconut cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 100 g dark chocolate 70% cocoa, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, melted honey, and melted coconut oil. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add Coconut:
- Add the desiccated coconut to the bowl and mix thoroughly until a uniform, cohesive mixture forms.
Shape the Balls:
- Line a small tray or plate with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the coconut mixture and shape into evenly sized balls using your hands.
Chill:
- Place the formed balls in the freezer for several minutes, until firm and well chilled. This step is essential to prevent the balls from breaking during coating.
Melt the Chocolate:
- Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over gently simmering water. Stir until smooth.
Coat the Coconut Balls:
- Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing back onto the parchment-lined tray.
Set:
- Sprinkle with additional desiccated coconut if desired. Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is fully set and firm.
