Coconut Balls Recipe

Looking for a party hit that quick to make yet highly acclaimed? These coconut balls will never disappoint even if they are sugar free!

We can have these coconut bites in our fridge anytime we feel like nibbling on something. It’s a sugar free recipe so we may nibble on two at the time just to make up the carbs. It’s perfect for  Summertime, when we don’t want to turn the oven on, these healthy coconut balls are the easiest snack to get the job done.

These balls are perfect for leftover or failed cake recycling. In case we have some messed up sponge cake or something that isn’t as spongy as we would like then we can use those instead of the graham crackers as a base.

Ingredients

• 7 oz / 200g Sugar free graham crackers
• 7 tablespoon / 100g Butter
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar free black cherry jam or jam of choice (low sugar apricot jam)
• 15 Cherries or sour cherries (de-seeded)
• ½ cup / 100ml Unsweetened Berry juice or juice of choice (preferably similar to the jam)
• 4 oz / 100g Coconut flakes

How to make coconut balls

1. Put graham crackers into a mixing bowl and crush them. We can use many other baked goods instead of the crackers. Failed sponge cakes are especially good at this!
2. Soften butter so we will be able to work with it easier. If butter is hard we can’t mix it well with the crushed crackers.
3. Add softened butter, cocoa powder, black cherry jam, cherries and berry juice into the bowl too. Mix and dough it until there is a smooth, even dollop.
4. Get a little amount of the mixture and form walnut size balls out of it. Roll it into the coconut flakes. Make sure the whole ball is covered.
5. Pop them in the fridge for half an hour.

Enjoy!

Bite size desserts are always fun. If desserts are made into bite sized balls they are even more fun:
