Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Cups Shredded Coconut
- 4 Tbsp. Pure Maple Syrup
- 5 Tbsp. Coconut oil, warmed
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla extract
- 1–85-90% Organic Dark Chocolate bar, chopped up (I used Green & Black)
Instructions
- Start by adding the shredded coconut to a food processor and pulsing until it reaches a fine consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, pure maple syrup, warmed coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the coconut mixture and roll them into (12) small balls using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the coconut mixture has been rolled into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
- While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the 85% organic dark chocolate bar in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove the coconut balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each coconut ball into the melted dark chocolate until fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
- Return the chocolate-coated coconut balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the coconut balls are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once the chocolate has set, remove the dark chocolate coconut bites from the refrigerator and serve. Enjoy these delicious and indulgent treats!
