  3. 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.
  4. After one hour, melt the dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate) and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil on high for 1 minute.
  5. Stir together. If chocolate is not fully melted, heat again for 30 seconds. Remove the balls from the freezer.

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!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
