Healthy Vegan Coconut Snowballs Recipe
Ingredients
For the coconut balls:- 80g coconut butter melted (NOT coconut oil)
- 150g shredded unsweetened coconut + more for rolling
- 80g Maple Sugar-Free Syrup or agave syrup
- 100g Organic Cacao Liquor Buttons
- 20g coconut butter
- 10ml water
Method
- To create the snowballs, put the melted coconut butter, maple syrup and the shredded unsweetened coconut into a small bowl and stir with a spoon until well combined.
- Place the bowl in the freezer for about 3-5 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Once chilled, shape the mixture into 8 balls with your palms – it can help to have slightly wet hands.
- Roll the balls in the shredded unsweetened coconut and store them in the fridge.
- For the chocolate ganache, melt cacao buttons with coconut oil and water in a heatproof bowl over boiling water. Stir well until all the buttons are melted.
- Pour the ganache into a sauce bottle and wait for a few minutes to allow it to cool slightly.
- Drizzle the ganache over the snowballs and return to the fridge for the ganache to set.
