Chocolate-Covered Coconut Snowballs


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! If you are looking for an easy, delicious treat full of healthy, natural ingredients, look no further! These chocolate-covered coconut snowballs are made of only a handful of ingredients, they're gluten free, vegan, and there is no cooking required!



Makes about 14-16 Snowballs


You will need:

  • 1/2 cup melted coconut butter
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp full fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

  • a bar of your favorite chocolate to melt for coating
    • I used Julian Bakery paleo chocolate

Directions:
  • Melt the coconut butter and place it in your food processor.
  • Add the maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract and salt and blend to combine.
  • Add the shredded coconut and coconut flour, blending again on high speed, until the batter forms a dough. Add more coconut flour if the dough seems too thin.
  • Scoop into a bowl and place in your freezer or fridge for 5-10 minutes to harden up and make the dough easier to shape.
  • Once cool, shape the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on a tray, then put the tray into your freezer to harden (about 20 minutes).

  • While the snowballs harden, melt your chocolate in a bowl over a small saucepan with boiling water.
  • Remove the snowballs from the freezer and dip them in the melted chocolate. 
  • Quickly sprinkle on more shredded coconut for garnish before the chocolate hardens.

  • Store in an airtight container in your freezer. 
  • Remove from the freezer 1-2 hours before serving.

Enjoy! :)
