Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 150 milliliters Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 whole Almonds (blanched and unsalted)
- 50 grams Unsweetened coconut flakes (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut milk, and almond flour. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the coconut mixture, and stir until everything is evenly distributed and a sticky dough forms.
Step 3
Using your hands, take a small portion of the coconut dough (about the size of a tablespoon) and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Step 4
Place a single whole almond in the center of the dough and carefully shape the dough around the almond, rolling it into a smooth ball.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and almonds.
Step 6
Once all the balls are formed, roll each one in the unsweetened coconut flakes, pressing gently so the flakes adhere to the surface.
Step 7
Transfer the coconut balls to a tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 8
Serve chilled and enjoy these low sodium, creamy coconut almond delights.
