Raw Vegan Coconut Energy Balls (copycat Raffaello)
These are very tasty, raw coconut balls that irresistibly remind me of Raffaello balls, but the ones without white chocolate and powdered milk. They are a really great treat for vegans and people with lactose intolerance, but every coconut lover will fall in love with the first bite.
Ingredients
- 140 g raw almond pulp
- 150 g coconut cream
- 60 g shredded coconut
- 60 g rolled oats (ground)
- 60 g coconut sugar
- 15 ml coconut oil
- good pinch of salt
- few drops of vanilla extract
- + extra shredded coconut for coating the balls
Instructions
- Put the coconut cream in the refrigerator for several hours before the start of preparation because it will be easier for you to form the balls.
- Pulse the oats in the food processor until they are ground. Add the dry ingredients, and pulse shortly to mix all ingredients. Add coconut cream, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Pulse again a few times until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Take a small amount of mixture and shape it into a ball and then coat it with some more shredded coconut. You should approximately get 20 - 25 balls, depending on the size you want them to be.
- Store them in the airtight plastic container in your fridge for a few hours before serving. Keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days. Enjoy!
Notes
- In this recipe, I used almond pulp, but you can use any other raw nut pulp that you want.
