Chocolate Coconut Balls

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Servings: 12 balls
Just a few ingredients but a really good on the go snack to curb cravings for otherwise shitty food that you shouldn't eat

NOTES: Instead of balls, create bar-shaped treats. To create a crunchy surprise, fill your balls with a hazelnut.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the four ingredients for the balls to a food processor and pulse two or three times to incorporate everything. You should be left with a rather firm texture.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover with some foil and refrigerate for an hour to let it thicken.
  3. Remove from the refrigerator and use an ice-cream scoop or a spoon to scoop the mixture and form little balls using your hands.
  4. Add shredded coconut into a bowl and melted chocolate into another.
  5. Roll half of the balls in shredded coconut to create the Raffaello bliss balls.
  6. For the bounty bliss balls, dip the other half of the refrigerated balls into the melted dark chocolate to create a coating. Decorate with some sprinkled coconut shreds if you like.
  7. Line all of the bliss balls on a plate with some parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour to let them set.
  8. Serve chilled or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
