Coconut Chocolate Cream Ingredients



Biscuit Ingredients






Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 350 milliliters of thick chilled coconut cream with your desired amount of sweetener.
Add in vanilla extract and 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture for about a minute.
The coconut cream will not double in size but should achieve a smooth and silky texture. Make sure to use the coconut cream only, as the water should be drained off!
Step 2
Once you have your biscuit (ensure it’s allowed to sit overnight or for a day at room temperature), crumble it into fine crumbs.
To the crumbs, add your prepared coconut chocolate cream and mix well. If you have good-quality psyllium husk that doesn't crunch, consider adding it to the mixture at this stage for a unique texture.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to firm it up.
Step 3
Once the mixture is set, take portions of it and roll them into your desired shapes—typically resembling small balls or potato shapes.
For an extra touch, roll the cake balls in cocoa powder or crushed nuts. You can also enhance the flavor by adding orange zest or chopped walnuts into the mixture before forming the balls.
Step 4
After shaping the cake balls, place them back in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This will help them to firm up further, making them delightful and ready to enjoy!

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining the creamy coconut and chocolate ingredients effectively. Make sure it's large enough for easy mixing!



An electric mixer will make your life easier by whipping the coconut cream to the perfect silky texture in just a minute. If you don’t have one, a whisk can work too, but be ready for a workout!



Use parchment paper to line your baking surfaces for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking when chilling your pastries.



For perfectly shaped pastry balls, a cookie scoop will help you form uniform sizes, leading to consistent baking and presentation.



Variations
For a **gluten-free** treat, simply use gluten-free biscuits or cake crumbs instead of traditional ones. You can savor the same amazing texture and flavor without the gluten! 🌿
If you want to make this dessert **vegan**, replace the coconut cream with your favorite plant-based whipping cream and ensure your biscuits are vegan-friendly. The flavor will still be rich and delicious while catering to dietary preferences! 🥑🌱
