Prep tips:
To save prep time, press mixture into a small baking dish lined with baking paper and freeze for 1 hour. Then cut into bites and dip into dark chocolate. Alternatively, drizzle the melted chocolate over the whole batch and cut into bites afterwards.
Easy ingredient swaps:
Swap honey for maple syrup.
Swap coconut cream for canned coconut milk.Additional boosters:
Swap 100g of desiccated coconut for almond meal.For fussy eaters:
Place everything into a blender and blend until smooth before rolling into balls, so it has a smoother texture. You might need to place the batter into the fridge to set for half an hour if it is too runny.
