Ingredients
-
1½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
-
½ cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut-free)
-
¼ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
-
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
½ tsp ground ginger
-
¼ tsp ground cardamom
-
¼ tsp ground cloves
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2–3 tbsp almond milk (or any milk of choice)
-
½ cup white chocolate chips, melted (for drizzle or dip)
-
Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
Instructions
-
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together shredded coconut, almond flour, protein powder (if using), and all the spices — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. -
Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Mix well. The mixture will be crumbly at first. -
Bring It Together
Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the mixture holds together when pinched. It should feel moist but not sticky — like soft dough. -
Form the Balls
Line a tray with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture per ball, press and roll tightly between your palms. Place on the tray. -
Chill
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until firm. -
Add the Chocolate
Melt white chocolate chips in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring each time. Drizzle or dip each snowball, then chill again for 10 minutes to set.
Notes
-
If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash more milk.
-
To avoid sticky hands when rolling, lightly oil your palms.
-
Add a pinch of salt to your melted chocolate — it makes the flavor pop!
