For 4 serving

Ingredients

200 g shredded coconut
200 g soft quark (not the tub type, but a firmer variety – for example low-fat or full-fat in a block)
1 tablespoon honey
20 whole almonds
3 tablespoons shredded coconut for coating

Preparation procedure

Mixing the base mixture: Pour the shredded coconut into a bowl and add the soft quark. Add a tablespoon of honey and mix thoroughly until a thick, well-shapable mass forms. If the mixture is too runny, add a little more coconut.
Shaping the balls: Take small portions of the mixture, place one almond in the center of each and form a firm ball.
Coating: Coat each ball in shredded coconut so it gets a smooth surface and holds its shape better.
Chilling: Place the finished balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, where they will firm up and be easier to serve.

Preparation time

Total time: approximately 20 minutes + chilling about 30 minutes

Number of servings

4–5 servings (about 4 balls per person)
