Ingredient label check

Always check your products’ labels and cross-contact information. Swapping an ingredient does not guarantee an allergen-free recipe.

A few simple steps

Let’s make something good.

Follow the updated ingredient weights and your swap notes above. The method keeps the original ingredient names; chilling and cooking times are guidance.

01
Process three-quarters of the desiccated coconut with dates, lime zest, lime juice, coconut oil and salt until a sticky, moldable dough forms.
02
Roll into your chosen number of small balls, about 1 tbsp each.
03
Roll each ball in the remaining quarter of the desiccated coconut to coat.
04
Chill 30 minutes to firm up.
05
Dust lightly with chili-lime seasoning just before serving so the coating stays crisp.
