Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
Place the shredded coconut in a shallow dish.
Roll each cherry walnut ball in the shredded coconut, coating them evenly.
Arrange the finished balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Refrigerate the Cherry Walnut Balls for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
