Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons maca powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons rice malt syrup
- 2 tablespoons cold-pressed coconut oil, melted
- A pinch of sea salt
- Sugar-free chocolate, melted
Preparation
- Put all the ingredients, except for the chocolate, into a food processor.
- Blend until all are combined.
- Using your hands, mold the mixture into balls and press firmly. A rolling action won 't work that well as the coconut will crumble, but if you press the mixture into ball shapes, it sticks together just fine. If you find your mixture is a bit dry and isn 't sticking, just add a little more coconut oil.
- Pop the balls into the freezer for 5 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate and gently dunk each ball in, placing on a lined baking tray. Once all have been dunked, allow them to set in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
- Keep in the freezer and allow to thaw for a couple of minutes before eating.
