Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for coating)
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (thick and chilled for best texture)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries, for filling
Optional Substitutions:
- Honey or maple syrup can be swapped for agave syrup.
- For extra texture, try adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds to the coconut mixture.
Instructions
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, coconut cream, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you get a thick, sticky dough.
Step 2: Form the Coconut Balls
Take a small portion of the coconut mixture (about a tablespoon) and flatten it in your palm. Place a fresh raspberry in the center and gently wrap the coconut mixture around it to form a ball, ensuring the raspberry is fully enclosed.
Step 3: Coat with Extra Shredded Coconut
Roll each formed ball in extra shredded coconut for a delightful coating that adds texture and visual appeal.
Step 4: Refrigerate to Set
Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray, and place them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the coconut oil firm up, creating a perfectly set and ready-to-enjoy treat.

- Coconut Cream Consistency: For the best results, use a thick coconut cream that’s been chilled; this ensures the coconut balls hold their shape.
- Raspberry Freshness: Fresh raspberries work best for this recipe as they add a juicy contrast. If using frozen raspberries, thaw and pat them dry before adding.
- Sweetness Adjustments: Adjust the honey or syrup amount to your taste. Coconut oil can slightly harden when chilled, so add a bit more if the mixture is too firm.
