Vegan Homemade Raffaello Coconut Snowballs !
Â
For all those last minute candy cravings and all the coconut lovers out there, these quick simple treats really hit the spot. Festive enough for the holiday table and to give away as gifts, but also casual enough as hot summer day treats at your next garden party.Â
Â
Easy enough to make with the kids, since there’s no baking involved just let them roll up their sleeves and get their little hands dirty making their very own candy balls.Â
Â
I have a thing for coconut nectar lately, I love it drizzled over my breakfast oatmeal bowl, in my coffee and off course to sweeten desserts. It is not quite as sweet as agave or maple syrup however, so If your sweet tooth is off the wall then you might just want to use maple instead. No judgement 😉
Â
You could also choose to use toasted coconut in this recipe, just know they will be more golden in color and you might need a little extra cream for the dough to come together well.
Â
Vegan, gluten-free, made without dates and as healthy as desserts can be. Try not to eat them all standing up in front of the refrigerator, I heard that happened before teeheehee
These are the best coconut snowballs ever!
