Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Coconut Balls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, shredded coconut, and matcha powder until well blended and the mixture turns a vibrant green.
  2. Pour honey and melted coconut oil into the dry mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Gradually mix in almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together without being soggy.
  4. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place each ball onto a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Refrigerate the shaped balls for approximately 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Melt white chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave until smooth. Optionally mix in matcha powder.
  7. Drizzle the glaze over each ball and sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top.
  8. Return the drizzled balls to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to set the glaze.
