How to Make Coconut Balls
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Blend coconut, maple syrup, 2 tablespoon of coconut oil, vanilla and salt in a blender or food processor.
- Pulse a few times to combine.
- Once combined, roll the coconut mixture into balls using a cookie or melon scoop. Place balls on a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for one hour.
- After one hour, melt the dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate) and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil on high for 1 minute.
- Stir together. If chocolate is not fully melted, heat again for 30 seconds. Remove the balls from the freezer.
- Using a fork, dip each ball in the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off of the fork before placing coconut balls onto the prepared tray.

Then, just swirl around to cover the balls with chocolate and let set.
Timesaving Tips to make this perfect every time
- Balls can be placed in the fridge for 4 days or freezer up to 30 days after being made for an easy snack.
Substitutions: 2 tablespoon water plus stevia (to taste) instead of maple syrup. Substitutions: Agave nectar or honey vs maple syrup - Using a fork vs a spoon to dip into chocolate helps the excess chocolate drip off without leaving the coconut balls in a pool of chocolate.

It's weird - I don't usually like coconut much, but this looks so good. I wonder if it's the pregnancy talking, or the freshness and crispiness of that chocolate!
