Chocolate Coconut Balls Recipe

No-bake, gluten-free chocolate coconut balls recipe made with coconut flour and covered with shredded coconut. This chocolate coconut balls recipe is perfect for chocolate and coconut lovers. 

As a kid, I remember my mum making this recipe with crushed digestive biscuits. My sister and I would always fight for the last chocolate coconut ball piece. She obviously would always win because I’m the eldest and need to be more responsible. Today, this recipe is still my sister’s favorite and must-make when she comes back home. However, since I can’t have gluten anymore, I decided to substitute the biscuits with coconut flour. I know I can replace the digestive biscuits with gluten-free biscuits, but honestly, gluten-free biscuits are a hassle to buy and are pretty expensive. 

Also, what I love the most about coconut flour is that you don’t need to bake it—making it the perfect substitute for biscuits in this recipe. It also increases the coconut flavor making the coconut balls even more delicious. If you love coconut as much as I do try out this coconut cupcake recipe.

This chocolate coconut balls recipe is straightforward to make and requires almost zero effort. To make this recipe, all you need is the following:

• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• Butter
• Brown Sugar 
• Granulated Sugar 
• Vanilla Extract 
• Coconut Flour 
• Coconut Milk Powder 
• Sweetened Condensed Milk 
• Shredded Coconut for decoration 

Making the Chocolate Coconut Balls

To make the dough, we will start by heating the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan until the butter and sugar melt. 

After removing the saucepan from the heat, we can add in the vanilla extract, coconut flour, and coconut milk powder. Afterward, using a spatula, mix all the ingredients until combined. 

Before we start shaping our chocolate coconut balls, we first need to let the dough chill for about an hour in the fridge. Chilling the dough will make it easier for us to shape the dough into balls.

Once the dough is chilled, using a spoon or an ice cream scooper, scoop the dough and shape it into a ball. If the coconut balls are too sticky, apply some water to your hands. Then roll the coconut balls in shredded coconut. 

These chocolate coconut balls are best served cold. They can be stored in the fridge in an air-tight container for a week.
