Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
½ large green apple or 1 small, peel on, cut into chunks
4-6 tablespoon maple syrup add to taste
3 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract

Instructions

Line a baking sheet or a large plate with parchment paper.
Gather all ingredients and place them in a food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients by pulsing everything together. You will need to pulse about 10-15 times. As you pulse, it will start to clump to the sides. Occasionally use a spoon to push everything back down so that it gets evenly blended. Halfway through, test for sweetness and add more maple syrup if desired.
Stop pulsing as soon as you are able to easily press the mixture into clumps with your hands.
Using a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture, press into balls with your hands. They may crumble a little bit but should hold their shape well.
Place the balls on the prepared lined plate or baking sheet. Leave some space in between the balls so that they freeze individually. Place in your freezer for 15-20 minutes to set.
Enjoy! They are best enjoyed frozen or slightly thawed so you get that melt in your mouth texture.
