Stevia reduces sugar content without sacrificing sweetness.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed and offers a caramel-like flavor.

chopped nuts

🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Seeds provide crunch and are often more affordable.

Combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.

Mix until well combined and a sticky dough forms.

Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.

Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.

Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment-lined tray.

Sprinkle with cocoa powder or chopped nuts if desired.

Refrigerate again until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
