Healthy Bounty Balls (Vegan)
These healthy vegan Bounty balls are super easy to make with just 4 ingredients! Bursting with delicious coconut flavor, our homemade recipe tastes almost like the “original” but is made with real food instead. Great low-carb summer treat and lovely edible gift idea!
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut (160 g)
- 1 cup coconut milk (240 g)
- 1 tbsp rice or agave syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate, melted (100 g)
- Shredded coconut (about ½ cup)
- Hazelnut for filling
- Almond or rum extract
Directions
- 1
Add the four ingredients for the balls to a food processor and pulse two or three times to incorporate everything. You should be left with a rather firm texture.
- 2
Transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover with some foil and refrigerate for an hour to let it thicken.
- 3
Remove from the refrigerator and use an ice-cream scoop or a spoon to scoop the mixture and form little balls using your hands.
- 4
Add shredded coconut into a bowl and melted chocolate into another.
- 5
Roll half of the balls in shredded coconut to create the Raffaello bliss balls.
- 6
For the bounty bliss balls, dip the other half of the refrigerated balls into the melted dark chocolate to create a coating. Decorate with some sprinkled coconut shreds if you like.
- 7
Line all of the bliss balls on a plate with some parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour to let them set.
- 8
Serve chilled or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
