Ingredients
-
2 cups unsweetened grated coconut (Optional)
-
½ cup coconut milk
-
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
-
1 cup almond flour
-
¼ cup unsweetened grated coconut, or as needed (Optional)
Directions
-
Combine 2 cups grated coconut and coconut milk in a bowl until thoroughly mixed.
-
Place sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in coconut mixture and almond flour until well combined; cool until easily handled.
-
Roll coconut mixture into bite-size balls. Pour 1/4 cup grated coconut into a bowl and roll balls in coconut until coated. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 15 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
This tasty snack is gluten-free, but the almond meal could be switched out for flour (wheat, soy, whatever) if you can't eat nuts.
Coconut cream can be used in place of the coconut milk, if desired.
The mixture will be gooey, but it will probably still be easier to roll than you might expect. If it isn't, add more almond flour a little at a time till of rollable consistency.
