Raw Coconut Fire Ball Roulette

May Ly

This isn’t so much a new recipe, just a twist on my raw cacao surprise bites recipe (see the recipe here) and a fun idea for entertaining your guests. These raw coconut balls have a lovely balance of sweet and salty and are filled with crunchy raw cacao except one or two balls have cayenne pepper and/or chilli flakes for a surprise fiery kick!

Raw Coconut Ball Roulette
Take a chance with each raw coconut fire ball!

Every guest takes a chance each time they grab a ball! You can add as much or as little cayenne / chilli as you like or however much you think your guests can take. If you wanted to be really mean, you can use wasabi paste instead!
