Ingredients
For the Pineapple Balls
1 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup of desiccated coconut
1/4 cup of honey
1/2 cup of almond flour
1/4 cup of melted coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Coating
1 cup of dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Instructions
To begin, mix the drained crushed pineapple, desiccated coconut, honey, almond flour, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl. Use a spoon to combine all the ingredients until they are well mixed.
Next, using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and shiny.
Remove the pineapple balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a fork to evenly coat them. Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for an additional 15 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the pineapple Christmas balls from the freezer and transfer them to a serving plate. You can also sprinkle some extra desiccated coconut or chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
These pineapple Christmas balls are best served chilled and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy this sweet and tropical twist on traditional holiday treats!
So next time you're looking for a fun and unique treat to add to your holiday menu, give this pineapple Christmas balls recipe a try. Your guests will be impressed by the festive presentation and delicious flavor. Happy holidays!
