Healthy Bounty Balls (Vegan)
These healthy vegan Bounty balls are super easy to make with just 4 ingredients! Bursting with delicious coconut flavor, our homemade recipe tastes almost like the “original” but is made with real food instead. Great low-carb summer treat and lovely edible gift idea!
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut 160 g
- 1 cup coconut milk 240 g
- 1 tbsp rice or agave syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate melted (100 g)
- Shredded coconut about ½ cup
Optional
- Hazelnut for filling
- Almond or rum extract
Instructions
- Add the four ingredients for the balls to a food processor and pulse two or three times to incorporate everything. You should be left with a rather firm texture.
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover with some foil and refrigerate for an hour to let it thicken.
- Remove from the refrigerator and use an ice-cream scoop or a spoon to scoop the mixture and form little balls using your hands.
- Add shredded coconut into a bowl and melted chocolate into another.
- Roll half of the balls in shredded coconut to create the Raffaello bliss balls.
- For the bounty bliss balls, dip the other half of the refrigerated balls into the melted dark chocolate to create a coating. Decorate with some sprinkled coconut shreds if you like.
- Line all of the bliss balls on a plate with some parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour to let them set.
- Serve chilled or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes
- You can melt the chocolate either in the microwave or a hot water bath before coating your coconut bliss balls.
- For a super-duper bounty bliss ball experience, increase the amount of chocolate for the coating and make two layers!
- Instead of bliss balls, you can create bar-shaped bounty treats, too!
- For a deeper flavor, add some almond or rum extract. To create a crunchy surprise, fill your coconut-coated bliss balls with a hazelnut.
