Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and almond flour. Stir well to ensure the cocoa powder is evenly distributed through the mixture.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add sea salt. Stir together with a spatula until a uniform dough forms. The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With clean hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet and continue with the remaining mixture.
Once all the balls are formed, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve the chocolate coconut balls straight from the fridge for the best texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
