Serves: 16-18
Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey
  • 8 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
  • 160 g dark chocolate
  • 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
  1. Use a food processor or a blender and pulse the shredded coconut a few times.
  2. Transfer to a bowl and add the honey, the melted coconut oil and the vanilla.
  3. Incorporate all the ingredients using your hands.
  4. Before giving each ball its round shape, keep the mixture in your palm and squeeze it for a few seconds. Make 16-18 small balls following the same process.
  5. Put them in the fridge for about half an hour.
  6. Melt the chocolate by putting it in a small bowl over a simmering pan with water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the bottom of the pan. Stir continuously until smooth and silky.
  7. Remove the coconut balls from the fridge and roll each ball into the melted chocolate until completely covered, using two forks. Let the chocolate drip off the fork and back into the bowl before putting each coconut ball on wax paper.
  8. Put them in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.
