1 serving = 8-10 balls

Ingredients

  • 4 g Matcha
  • 100 g shredded coconut
  • 100 g soft dates, pitted
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter
  • 1 pinch salt

Manual

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

Suitable Matcha: The Organic Basic 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 light sweetness. If needed, you can sweeten further with a teaspoon of maple syrup, agave nectar, 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 stay fresh in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
