Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Add the honey and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to blend the mixture until it forms a cohesive, slightly sticky dough.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes. This will help the dough firm up and make it easier to shape.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using clean hands, roll the dough into small, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Work carefully and compress the mixture gently to help the balls hold their shape.
- Optional: Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut to create a snow-like exterior coating.
- Place the completed snowballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Refrigerate the almond snowballs for at least 30 minutes to help them set and develop a firmer texture.
- Store the snowballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Chill Out: Refrigerating the mixture before rolling helps prevent sticky hands and creates more uniform balls.
- Texture Matters: Press the balls gently but firmly to ensure they hold together without cracking.
- Coconut Coating Trick: For a more dramatic "snowy" effect, roll the balls in extra shredded coconut while they're still slightly tacky.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These snowballs actually taste better after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours, allowing flavors to meld.
- Storage Hack: Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out.
- Customize: Experiment with different extracts like vanilla or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for variety.
