Method
- Put all the ingredients except the desiccated coconut into a food processor and pulse until the mixture comes together. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats. If it’s too dry, add a little more coconut oil. Shape into a ball, then wrap in cling film and chill for 1-2 hours until firm.
- Once set but still workable (see know-how), use your hands to roll out truffle-size balls, then roll these in the coconut flakes and/or extra cacao powder, leaving some uncoated.
