These No Bake Coconut Snowballs are a delightful and simple treat made from unsweetened desiccated coconut, coconut nectar or maple syrup, and creamy coconut cream. Perfectly sized as bite-sized delights with an optional nut center, these vegan and gluten-free snowballs offer a naturally sweet and rich flavor without any baking required. They are set in the fridge for a few hours to firm up, making them a quick and easy dessert or snack option.

Ingredients

Scale

Snowball Mixture

  • 1.5 cups desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
  • 3 tbsp coconut nectar or maple syrup (maple syrup for sweeter option)
  • 5 tbsp coconut cream

Nuts (Optional)

  • 9 blanched almonds or hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coconut Dough: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of desiccated coconut, coconut nectar or maple syrup, and coconut cream. Mix thoroughly until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the dough seems dry, add a little extra coconut cream to reach desired consistency.
  2. Shape the Snowballs: Using your hands, divide the dough into 9 equal portions and shape each into a golf ball-sized sphere.
  3. Add the Nut Center: Press an almond or hazelnut into the center of each ball. Carefully reshape the dough around the nut to reform a smooth, round snowball.
  4. Coat with Coconut: Roll each ball in the remaining 0.5 cups of desiccated coconut until fully coated.
  5. Chill: Place the coated snowballs on a plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow them to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can use maple syrup instead of coconut nectar if you prefer a sweeter treat.
  • If the dough feels too dry, add additional coconut cream gradually to achieve a soft consistency.
  • Blanched almonds or hazelnuts in the center add a nice crunch but can be omitted for nut-free versions.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
