Recipe's preparation

1. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper or thermomat.

2. Place desiccated coconut into thermomix bowl and mill 45 seconds/speed 7 (or until the coconut turns into a sticky cosistencey). Scrape down sides of bowl.

3. Add melted coconut oil, raw honey, vanilla extract and salt to the bowl and mix together 15 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 10 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl again.

4. Squeeze coconut mixture into teaspoon sized balls and place on lined baking tray. When all mixture made into balls (approximately 12 serves) place coconut balls into fridge to set for approximately 2 hours (I often make and roll the coconut mixture at night then they are well and truely set by the next day for chocolate coating)

5. Place dark chocolate into thermomix bowl and melt for 5 minutes/85 degrees/speed 2.

6. Remove bowl from housing and tilt so melted chocolate is pooled to one side. Place set cocnunt balls in the melted cocolate and roll ball with a spoon or fork until fully coated with chocolate. Use a fork to remove chocolate covered coconut ball from bowl (allow excess chocolate to drip off) and place back onto lined baking tray. Repeat until all balls are covered with chocolate.

7. Sprinkle crushed nuts or seeds of choice over the top of the choc-coconut balls and place tray back into the fridge for another 2 hours to set chocolate.

8. Serve straight from the fridge and enjoy!

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
