1 portion = 8-10 balls

Ingredients

  • 4 g Matcha (1 tsp = 2.5 g)
  • 100 g coconut flakes
  • 100 g soft dates, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
  • 1 pinch of salt

Method

  1. Put the matcha powder, about three quarters of the coconut flakes, the dates, the melted coconut oil or butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until it forms a smooth, slightly sticky mass. If the mixture is too dry, add a little coconut oil, butter or water.
  2. Take small portions of the mixture and form them into balls about the size of a walnut with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, you can moisten your hands slightly.
  3. Roll the balls in the remaining coconut flakes until they are completely covered.
  4. Place the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and the flavors to blend well.
  5. Take the matcha coconut balls out of the fridge and enjoy with a cup of tea.
Good to know

Suitable Matcha: The Organic Classic Matcha is the perfect choice for matcha coconut balls.

Extra coconut flavor: For a more intense coconut flavor, you can use toasted coconut flakes.

Light sweetness: The dates already give the balls a slight sweetness. If necessary, you can sweeten them further with a teaspoon of maple syrup, agave syrup or honey.

Fresh dates:Soft, juicy dates give the balls the perfect consistency. If your dates are dry, soak them briefly in warm water.

Storage:The balls will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
