- Mix to make a soft dough.
- Rest the dough for 10-15 minutes.
- Wet your hands with water if necessary and make balls with the coconut dough. Take about a tablespoonful. Roll into a ball and flatten it slightly so it looks like a disc.
- Put the discs in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave oven or over hot water.
- Line a tray with parchment /greaseproof paper.
- Coat each disc with chocolate using a spoon and fork.
- Shake off excess chocolate.
- Put them on the tray. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles.
- Let it set in the fridge for 1 hour or so.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight contianer if the weather is hot.
Notes
- Put grated or chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Place it over a bowl or pan of hot water. The bowl should sit on the pan and not inside the pan. Stir till it melts.
- I prefer using dark or semi sweet chocolate.
- Add a flavouring of your choice.
- Dip the ball or disc into the chocolate and remove it with a fork. Shake the fork gently to remove excess chocolate.
- Make shapes from the coconut dough of your choice, small round balls or squares.
