Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Coconut Balls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, blend 1 cup of almond flour, 1 cup of shredded coconut, and 2 tablespoons of vibrant matcha powder. Stir for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Drizzle in ¼ cup of honey and ¼ cup of melted coconut oil into the dry mix and mix thoroughly for about 3-4 minutes until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Gradually add in 2-4 tablespoons of almond milk while mixing until the mixture is moist yet firm enough to hold its shape.
  4. Take a tablespoon of the dough and roll it into one-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Refrigerate the tray for about 30 minutes to firm up the bites.
  6. Melt ½ cup of white chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds.
  7. Once melted, whisk in an additional teaspoon of matcha powder for flavor.
  8. Remove the balls from the refrigerator and drizzle the prepared glaze over each ball, then sprinkle a bit of shredded coconut on top.
  9. Place the decorated Matcha Coconut Balls back into the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to set the glaze.
