7oz/ 200g Sugar free graham crackers
7tablespoon/ 100g Butter
1tablespoonUnsweetened cocoa powder
1tablespoonSugar free black cherry jam or jam of choicelow sugar apricot jam
15Cherries or sour cherriesde-seeded
½cup/ 100ml Unsweetened Berry juice or juice of choicepreferably similar to the jam
4oz/ 100g Coconut flakes
Instructions
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!
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.
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.
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.
Pop them in the fridge for half an hour.
Notes
Summertime, when no one wants to turn the oven on; coconut balls are excellent alternative of teatime snack.
