Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup almonds (I used roasted)
- 1/3 cup thick coconut cream
- 1.5 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/8 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tbsp orange zest
- 1/4 cup cacao
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- Fair trade dark chocolate to drizzle
Instructions
- Chop the almonds in a food processor.
- In a medium-size bowl, add the coconut cream, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, orange zest and cacao powder and mix to combine. Then add the almonds and shredded coconut and combine.
- Let it cool until the mix becomes hard (approx. 20 minutes).
- Lay a tray with baking paper. Form little balls with the hands and spread them throughout the tray.
- Melt dark chocolate using the double boiler method. Drizzle on top of the balls.
- Put the tray in the fridge and let it cool.
- Enjoy cold straight out of the fridge.
Notes
- A thick coconut cream is a must!
- You can substitute almonds for cashews or macadamia nuts.
- Make them vegan using maple syrup instead of honey.
