Ingredients

  • 2 cups desiccated coconut
  • 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (for melting)

Instructions

  1. Pulse desiccated coconut in a food processor or blender until it reaches a fine, flour-like texture. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the coconut. Stir until a thick, uniform paste forms.
  3. Shape the mixture into about 18 small balls using your hands. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate until smooth using a microwave or double boiler.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate using forks, allowing excess to drip off.
  6. Place coated balls on the lined sheet and chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
  7. Once set, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to make it vegan.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty flavor.
  • Skip the chocolate coating and roll in toasted coconut or cocoa powder for a lighter option.
  • If the mixture is too crumbly, add more coconut oil or sweetener ½ tablespoon at a time.
