How to Make Coconut Bites
These no-bake treats are the perfect snack to make ahead. You can make several batches at once, freeze them and pull them out as you need them. Here's what you'll need to do to make them step by step:
Start by toasting coconut flakes in a small skillet for about 3 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally until the flakes turn golden in color then set aside to cool a bit. In the meantime, remove pits from the dates, melt coconut oil, and measure out all dry ingredients.
Into a food processor, add pitted dates, toasted coconut flakes, almond flour, salted almonds, and freeze-dried raspberries.
Process for about a minute or so, and then add vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Process for another minute.
Then stop the food processor, remove the lid, and use a silicone spatula to remove unprocessed nuts stuck to the bottom and sides of the food processor container then process for 30 more seconds.
Using a tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop some of the coconut mixture and transfer it into our hands. Squeeze the crumbs together in your hand and then roll them into small bite-size balls.
Place rolled bites onto a platter lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Let them chill in the fridge for an hour and then transfer them into a storage container with a lid.
Your delicious Coconut Bites are ready to be served!
