Another Fab Coconut Recipe: Coconut Balls

Living in South Florida means I miss the crisp fall mornings and the chilly mornings of winter.  However, an 80 degree Christmas isn't something to complain about.   
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!

Mold into small balls by using a spoon, small ice cream scoop or your hands.  If you choose to warm your coconut oil you might need to let it get cold again before you shape into balls.   

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!
