Instructions

- Use a 2 inch trigger ice cream scoop to portion the batter into six balls.
- Chill the balls in the fridge for 30 minutes so that they can firm up.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You do need BOTH the half cup and four tablespoons of collagen powder. It helps bind the balls. Otherwise, they turn into blobs.
- Make sure the coffee you use is room temperature or chilled in the fridge. How coffee will melt ingredients together and result in a bit of a mess.
- The mixture is super sticky while you’re making it but it shouldn’t be watery. If you find it is, add in a bit more almond flour or collagen. Sticky is good and the balls firm up and hold together once chilled.
- Makes 6 large balls.
