Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups organic unsweetened shredded coconut
- 4 tablespoons organic raw honey
- 6 tablespoons organic virgin coconut oil (solid at room temp)
- 1 tablespoon organic almond flour or organic coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 bar organic soy-free dark chocolate
You’ll also need parchment paper.
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients except for the chocolate together in a large bowl, mashing it together with a fork. Your coconut oil should be solid (not liquid) but soft, and easy to work with (if it’s liquid, pop it in the fridge to solidify a bit).
- After you have a consistent “dough”, form your “snowballs” by taking about a tablespoon of the mixture and forming it into a compact ball with your hands (so be sure to wash your hands first!). Your body heat will melt the coconut oil, so try to do this as quickly as possible!
- After you’ve formed all of your snowballs, melt the bar of chocolate using a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, just place a small oven-safe glass bowl (break up the chocolate and put it in the bowl) in a pot filled with about an inch of water, and set it on medium heat.
- After the chocolate has melted, dip the bottom of the snowballs in the chocolate, and place them on the parchment paper set over a plate or small cutting board (so it can easily be transferred to the fridge later).
- Once all of your snowballs have been dipped, add a chocolate drizzle over the top using a spoon and some wrist-flicking action (clearly, I can work on this skill a little bit!).
- Then, pop your chocolate-covered snowballs in the fridge to set for a couple of hours.
- Keep them in the fridge until they are ready to be enjoyed to keep their shape.
