About the Recipe
Inspired by the classic almond joy flavour with a healthy twist
Ingredients
1 cup almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup almond butter
2 tbsps raw cacao powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
12-15 whole almonds
Water (if needed, to help bind the mixture)
Preparation
Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the almonds until finely chopped.
Step 2
Add the shredded coconut, almond butter, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture begins to stick together. If needed, add a small amount of water to help bind the mixture.
Step 3
Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls. Press a whole almond into the centre of each ball, then roll again to ensure the almond is enclosed in the middle.
Step 4
Place the balls on a parchment lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 5
Keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Enjoy 💕
