    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Total Time: 15 minutes
    Servings: 10 balls
    Author: Iosune


    Ingredients 

    US Customary - Metric
    • 1 and ¼ cup shredded coconut
    • ⅓ cup almond flour
    • ¼ cup maple or agave syrup
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Add 1 cup of shredded coconut (75 g), almond flour and maple or agave syrup to a food processor and blend until well combined.
    • Make balls with your hands. We made 10.
    • Finally, roll the balls in some shredded coconut (about ¼ cup or 20 g).
    • Keep the coconut snowballs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.

    Notes

    • If the dough is too dry, add more syrup and if it's too watery, add more shredded coconut or almond flour.
    • Feel free to use store-bought almond flour or blend raw almonds in a food processor or powerful blender.
    • I've only made this recipe using maple or agave syrup, but I think any syrup will do.

      Going to make these. They look delicious. Just wondering if they freeze well.

      Can you substitute the maple syrup with golden syrup?

      I made these, they are yummie though a little bit too sweet for my taste (and I am a major sweet tooth). They didn't last a day, let alone a week, not possible.
      I am wondering how to make them a bit less sweet, would they still stick with less syrup?
      I also found out if I make my hands wet, the balls wouldn't stick so much to my hands and I could make better balls.

        Hi Winnie! I've never made them using less syrup, but you could add some coconut oil instead or even some regular or coconut water, I think it should work 🙂

      Love this recipe! Super-simple and great food for going on a little hike. I used a blender shaft as I don't have a food processor and it worked just fine. Gracias for the recipe 🙂

        Hi Charlotte! You could use any other nut flour and if he/she can't eat nuts, try with coconut or oat flour. Hope it works!

      HI there, thank you for your easy, delicious go to vegan recipes! My kids loved your egg roll and sweet n sour sauce...I am excited to try more of your recipes with them. We are new to veganism! Trying to stay whole food vegan instead of store bought vegan type of eating. Of course when we absolutely don't have the time we opt from the kitchen BUT we are so glad for blogs like yours! If we don't have a food processor, we left ours at my parents home about 4 hours away, could we just mix it or use a hand held blender?
      Thank you again!

        Could we also add in some coconut butter? I tend to not hit my fat consumption goals so thought if I added some coconut butter I could amp up the total fat on these (for me only and my kids and husband will have to do without as they are not Vegan, only when I cook),

          Hi Monique! I think you could mix all the ingredients in a bowl, it should work. I would add coconut oil instead of coconut butter, but you could try. If you add some fat, you'll need to add less syrup or more shredded coconut/almond flour. Hope it helps!

      I plan to make this today but don't have almond flour -- can I just grind whole almonds into a flour?
