Notes

RECIPE TIPS
  1. Make sure you use unsweetened desiccated coconut rather than shredded coconut or coconut flakes.
  2. If mixture is too soft to form balls, add a little extra coconut or place in the fridge for 15 minutes before attempting to roll again.
  3. Use a spatula to gently lift the biscuits from the tray if necessary.
