Pumpkin & Coconut balls
Print This
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of baked pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cup of grated coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder
- 2 - 4 drops of stevia to taste
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- Peel and chop the squash, arrange the pieces on a tray lined with baking paper and bake about 25 minutes or until the pumpkin is perfectly cooked.
- Process the pumpkin until it is a homogeneous puree. Put a ½ cup of puree in a large bowl.
- Put the coconut in a food processor, except 2 or 3 tablespoons for coverage. Process the coconut until a cream is formed. It will take several minutes.
- Join the coconut cream and the rest of the ingredients to the pumpkin puree and mix well. Form some balls with your hands. If the dough is not sufficiently dense, it can be left to rest in the freezer for 15 minutes or more, to solidify and make it easier to form the balls.
- Pass the balls through the remaining grated coconut and keep in the fridge until serving time.
