Directions
Steps
|
Keep the coconut in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before using it. Then, transfer the solid part of the milk into a bowl and add the icing and vanilla sugar, stirring.
|
|
Add the ground almonds and coconut flakes, along with the vanilla extract. Use a spatula to mix everything and then keep the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour.
|
|
Take the bowl out of the fridge and use a teaspoon to scoop up the candies. Pass them through coconut flakes, multicolor chocolate balls or ground dried strawberries, covering their whole surface. If you think that the candies are too soft, keep them in the fridge for another 20-30 minutes.
