Where was I going with this? Hmm, dessert!
I feel like I've skipped fall desserts and jumped right into a tropical Christmas!
Coconut Balls
adapted from Melissa in CA
Ingredients
½ cup carob powder
(or unsweetened cocoa powder)
3½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
¾ cup coconut oil
½ cup honey or agave
*Be careful using agave as it is very sweet!*
Directions
Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add coconut oil and honey (or agave) and stir to combine.
Mix thoroughly! |
Freeze for minimum 30 minutes and enjoy. These are best when frozen or refrigerated.
Next time I make these I might add sunflower seeds or chopped pecans. Or maybe smother them in white chocolate!
In case you don't want "balls" or you don't want to handle the coconut mixture, just scoop it up and place it on a pan. Put the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes and you're done!
In case you missed my Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip cookie post {you seriously need to read it} here's the scoop: I have a super delicious, absolutely fabulous and healthy Virgin Coconut Oil from the awesome people at Tropical Traditions. For the next few days I'll be experimenting with a few super fab recipes. Friday I'll give you a chance to win a jar of your very own!
Stay tuned for more delicious coconut creations!

Mmmmmm......coconut! My favorite! Mostly because the kids don't like it. So I know if I leave some coconut concoctions in the cupboard, they'll still be there next time I want one :) Stevie @ ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.com
