Matcha Coconut Snowballs
Description
This recipe creates Matcha Coconut Snowballs by combining almond flour, shredded coconut, matcha powder, sweetener, and coconut extract with almond milk. The ingredients are pulsed in a food processor until they bind together into a moldable dough. The mixture is then shaped into small balls by hand and rolled in finely shredded coconut, which adds a delicate coating and mild coconut flavor.
The matcha powder brings an earthy green tea flavor and subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness from maple syrup. Almond flour gives a nutty base and slightly crumbly texture, while coconut adds chewiness. These snowballs require no cooking and can be chilled to firm up before serving.
This treat suits those looking for a handheld, portion-controlled snack or dessert with natural ingredients and a gentle caffeine lift from the matcha.
Ingredients
For coating:
- ¼ C coconut unsweetened, fine shredded
For the snowballs:
- ½ C almond flour
- ½ C coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup or any liquid sweetener to taste
- ½ teaspoon coconut extract or sub vanilla or almond extract
- 2 tablespoon almond milk
Instructions
Coconut coating:
- Place fine shredded coconut into a small bowl and set aside. This will be for coating the balls. (Note: if the coconut flakes are large, place into a coffee grinder and pulse a few times, until light and powdery).
Make the matcha coconut snowballs:
- In a food processor, combine together the almond flour, shredded coconut, matcha, maple syrup, coconut extract, and almond milk.
- Pulse until the mixture comes together. (When the mixture is pressed together, it should hold its shape).
- Use a small ice cream scoop (or tablespoon) to form balls.
- Roll the mixture between your hands until it is a round sphere.
- Coat the entire exterior of the ball with the coconut flakes. Repeat with the remainder.
- Place the coated snowballs in a container and store in the fridge.
