Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 150 milliliters Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 whole Almonds (blanched and unsalted)
- 50 grams Unsweetened coconut flakes (for coating)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut milk, and almond flour. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the coconut mixture, and stir until everything is evenly distributed and a sticky dough forms.
Using your hands, take a small portion of the coconut dough (about the size of a tablespoon) and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Place a single whole almond in the center of the dough and carefully shape the dough around the almond, rolling it into a smooth ball.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and almonds.
Once all the balls are formed, roll each one in the unsweetened coconut flakes, pressing gently so the flakes adhere to the surface.
Transfer the coconut balls to a tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy these low sodium, creamy coconut almond delights.
