Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for coating)
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (thick and chilled for best texture)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries, for filling
Optional Additions
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (for extra texture)
- Agave syrup as an alternative sweetener
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add shredded coconut, chilled coconut cream, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Form the Coconut Balls: Take about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture, flatten it in your palm, place a fresh raspberry in the center, then gently wrap the mixture around the raspberry to fully enclose it and form a ball.
- Coat with Extra Shredded Coconut: Roll each formed ball in additional shredded coconut to create a textured and visually appealing coating.
- Refrigerate to Set: Arrange the coconut balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the coconut oil to firm up, ensuring they hold their shape perfectly.
Notes
- Use thick, chilled coconut cream for the best ball consistency.
- Fresh raspberries add juicy contrast; if using frozen, thaw and pat dry.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the honey or syrup amount according to taste.
- Coconut oil may harden when chilled; add a bit more coconut oil if mixture feels too firm before shaping.
- Lightly oil your hands with coconut oil to prevent the mixture from sticking while forming balls.
