Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Low-fat natural yogurt
- 100 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 25 grams Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat natural yogurt, unsweetened shredded coconut, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir the mixture well using a spatula or a spoon until all the ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips to add some extra chocolatey goodness.
Cover your hands with a small amount of cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture using a spoon, about a tablespoon each, and roll them into balls between your hands.
Place each rolled ball onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Once all the mixture has been used to form balls, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Serve the chocolate coconut balls chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
