Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Provides structure and a nutty flavor; substitute with cashew or oat flour for a different taste.
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut Adds natural sweetness and texture; opt for unsweetened for lower sugar content.
  • 2 tablespoons Matcha Powder Delivers vibrant color and earthy flavor; culinary-grade matcha is best for optimal taste.
For Binding and Sweetness
  • 3 tablespoons Honey Acts as a natural sweetener and binder; use maple syrup as a vegan alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil Adds moisture and helps bind ingredients together; can substitute with olive oil for a different flavor.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Almond Milk Adjusts dough consistency; any plant-based milk works well here.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup White Chocolate Adds a sweet, indulgent glaze with beautiful contrast; swap with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil Helps achieve a smooth texture for the glaze; adjust thickness as needed.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, shredded coconut, and matcha powder. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Stir in honey and melted coconut oil until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together.
  3. Gradually mix in almond milk until the dough holds together without being too wet.
  4. Roll small portions of the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Refrigerate the tray for about 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
  6. Melt white chocolate and coconut oil together in short intervals until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the glaze over each chilled ball and sprinkle with extra shredded coconut if desired.
  8. Return the balls to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes to set the glaze.
