Ingredients

  • 2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup dragonfruit juice see blog notes for substitutions
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Dragonfruit Juice

  • 1 purple dragonfruit
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

For the Dragonfruit Juice:

  • Peel the dragonfruit and add it to a blender with ¼ cup water.
  • Blend until smooth, adding more water gradually if needed.
  • Pour the juice through a sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp, leaving a smooth, vibrant juice.

For the Coconut Balls:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dragonfruit juice, maple syrup, and coconut cream to form a bright colored liquid.
  • Add the desiccated coconut and mix well until combined.
  • Then use your hands to compress the mixture into balls. Place each ball on a tray lined with baking paper.
  • Freeze the balls for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the balls are frozen solid.
  • Once frozen, melt the dark chocolate chips and dip each ball, coating it fully. Return each coated ball to the tray.
  • Let the chocolate set for about 5 minutes. Store the balls in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
