Vegan Pineapple Coconut Snowballs

Pineapple Coconut Snowballs – Vegan, Nut Free, Gluten Free

This an easy and quick recipe. It’s extremely delicious and perfect in case you suffer from food sensitivities related to nuts and gluten.

Ingredients 

• 1 pineapple fruit (sliced into small pieces)
• 1 3/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, divided
• 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Place 1 cup of shredded coconut in a food processor along with the coconut oil. Process on high speed, scraping down the sides periodically until it reaches a paste-like consistency. (It does not have to be completely smooth like butter; some coconut texture is good.)
2.  Add the maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and pineapple slices and process until well combined. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut and pulse until just combined.
3.  Shape the mixture into 12 (1-inch) balls and coat with the remaining shredded coconut. Refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before eating.
