Coconut Snowballs

Had some non-paleo folks over for brunch, but there were a few dietary requestst, being egg- and dairyfree.
To be honest, eggfree is a bit tricky for me, since I love eggs and a lot of recipes I make have eggs in them.

The main course is not too difficult, we served our grilled beef tagliata, with some simple sides, and for dessert I wanted to make sure everyone was happy, so made a few choices. One of them were Coconut Snowballs. Found this recipe online, so can't claim it as my own, but wanted to share either way!


1 ¾ cups shredded coconut

2 tsp coconut oil, melted
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt


Mix 1 cup of the coconut with the oil in a blender until it becomes a smooth mixture. Add in the syrup, coconut milk, cinnamon & salt and mix well.
Last, add in the remaining coconut, but leave about 2 tbsp behind. Roll the mixture into balls (about 2 cm diameter) Roll the balls through the remaining coconut until covered.
Refrigerate for about an hour until set.
