Ingredients
160Ā gĀ nut meal, I used macadamia but almond meal works well Ā
80Ā gĀ organic desiccated coconutĀ
60Ā gĀ coconut oilĀ (aprox 1/4 cup, melted)
3 tbsp raw honey, maple syrup or rice malt syrup
1Ā tbspĀ vanillaĀ ā extract or essence
1Ā lemon/sĀ ā zest and 3-4 tbsp juice
2Ā tbspĀ shredded coconutĀ ā for the outside
Preparation
Combine all ingredients thoroughly by hand or in a food processor until well mixed.
Depending on the moisture absorption of the coconut and almond meal, you may need to adjust by adding a little more of either to achieve the right consistency, though they will firm up once chilled.
Shape the mixture into balls, then roll them in shredded coconut for the final touch.
Place in the freezer to chill. Serve directly from the freezer or let thaw in the fridge.
