Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combines the almond flour, tapioca starch, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each ball in the desiccated coconut for a coating all around.
Place the mochi balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Paleo Mochi Balls!
