Chocolate Coated Coconut Balls
Chocolate and coconut is a wonderfully delicious flavour combination. These choc coconut balls are very easy to make, and if you didn’t want to make your own chocolate, you could melt your favourite chocolate and use that to coat these balls. But I do recommend making your own chocolate with these and it is so rich and decadent! I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Ingredients:
Filling:
1 & 1/2 cups unsweetened desiccated coconut
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate:
3/4 cup cacao butter, chopped roughly
1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Combine all the filling ingredients in a food processor or Thermomix and process to combine (5sec/sp5 in Thermomix).
Roll the coconut mixture into 8 balls and pop them onto a tray lined with baking paper. Put into the fridge for 30 minutes.
Make the chocolate - combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and melt on a low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. (In Thermomix, add all the chocolate ingredients to the TM bowl, chop 5sec/sp7 and then melt 4min/70deg/sp3 - stopping halfway and scraping down the sides of the bowl if required).
Take the coconut balls out of the fridge and coat them in the chocolate. Put the balls back into the fridge to set for at least an hour. Keep in the fridge until ready to eat!
