Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup coconut milk, canned light
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 24 whole raw almonds
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut milk, almond flour, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to fully incorporate, forming a slightly sticky mixture.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture into a small ball. Flatten slightly and press an almond into the center, then reshape to form a ball around the almond. Repeat with the remaining mixture and almonds.
Place the formed bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted, or melt using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each coconut almond ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring all sides are covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the bites are coated in chocolate, refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
