Serves: 12 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and almond flour, ensuring they are well mixed and free of any lumps.
- Add maple syrup and almond butter to the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly until the mixture becomes cohesive and starts to bind together.
- Sprinkle sea salt into the mixture, gently folding it to distribute the salt evenly and create a salted caramel flavor profile.
- Using clean hands, begin to compress and roll the mixture into uniform round balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Work slowly to ensure each ball holds its shape.
- Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, leaving a small space between each ball.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and completely liquid.
- Carefully drizzle or dip each bliss ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to help coat them evenly.
- Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment paper and sprinkle additional sea salt on top for extra flavor and decoration.
- Refrigerate the bliss balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and become firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, enjoying chilled for best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform-sized balls for consistent results.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more almond butter or maple syrup to help bind.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, let the melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a richer flavor and healthier option.
- For extra crunch, consider rolling the balls in additional shredded coconut before chilling.
- Make sure to refrigerate the bliss balls to help them maintain their shape and enhance their flavor.
