Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, tahini, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive, slightly sticky mixture forms. The consistency should be moldable but not too wet.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a small amount of tahini. If too wet, sprinkle in additional shredded coconut.
- Using clean hands, roll the mixture into uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from becoming too warm.
- Optional: Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut for extra texture and coating.
- Place the bliss balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld together.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Serve chilled as a quick keto-friendly snack or dessert.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing and easier ball formation.
- Texture is Key: If your mixture is too dry, add tahini gradually. If too wet, sprinkle extra coconut to achieve the perfect consistency.
- Keep Hands Cool: Work quickly when forming balls to prevent the mixture from becoming too warm and losing its shape.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerating allows flavors to meld and helps the balls firm up, enhancing their texture and taste.
- Get Creative with Coatings: Try rolling in extra coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These bliss balls can be prepared in advance and stored for up to a week, making them a perfect meal prep snack.
