Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for coating)

• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (or agave for vegan)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Fresh raspberries (for filling)

3️⃣ Coat in Coconut:
Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut for a beautiful snowy coating.

4️⃣ Chill:
Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Notes

  • Make It Vegan: Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey to keep the recipe 100% vegan.

  • Fruit Swaps: Try blueberries, chopped strawberries, or pineapple chunks if raspberries aren’t available.

  • Texture Tip: If the coconut mixture feels too soft, chill it for 10 minutes before rolling.

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

  • Serving Suggestion: Let frozen balls thaw at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for best texture.

  • Add-In Ideas: Enhance texture with mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or a dash of lime zest for a tropical twist.

  • Yield Tip: Recipe makes about 12 medium balls, depending on scoop size.
