Raw Almond Joys/Mounds/Bounty Balls {Vegan + Gluten Free, too}
Servings 6 large (or around 20 small)
Ingredients
For the chocolate coating:
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) melted cocoa butter
- 1/4 cup (30 g) cacao powder
- 2 tbsp preferred liquid sweetener
For the coconut center:
- 1 1/4 cups (107 g) shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) melted coconut oil, or as needed
- 1 tbsp (20 g) agave nectar, or as needed
Instructions
To make the chocolate:
- Mix all the ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.
To make the coconut centers:
- Put half of the coconut into your food processor and process until you get a chunky butter consistency; it may take several minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the remaining coconut, and process until it all sticks together. If it’s too dry, add more coconut oil or agave nectar. Press this mixture into flattened balls and put in the fridge for an hour, until they set. Then dip in the chocolate and allow the chocolate to set. Finally—eat.
