Coconut Keto Snowballs
Prep
Inactive
Total
Yield 7–10 Snowballs
Ingredients:
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons powdered stevia or monkfruit sweetener, plus more as desired
- Pinch of pink salt
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 drops of Peppermint essential oil (optional)
- Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:
Step #1: In a food processor or high-powered blender, blend the coconut on high until it takes on a powdery texture. Add the coconut milk, sweetener, peppermint oil (if using), vanilla extract, and salt and blend on high until a thick batter forms. Add a little more coconut milk if the batter is too crumbly.
Step #2: Line a plate with parchment paper. Slightly wet your hands and form the batter into small balls, about 2 inches in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared plate.
Step #3: Sprinkle with extra sweetener or cinnamon, if desired, and refrigerate for 60 minutes, or until they firm up.
Step #4: Serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

These coconut keto snowballs are a tasty, easy to make, fat burning keto snack or dessert that you will love! These snowballs taste wonderful, fill you up with just 2-3 and you can make a whole bunch and store them in the refrigerator for the whole week.
It is important to have healthy snacks around so you don’t fall victim to temptation when your hunger sets in. These snowballs naturally reduce hunger and cravings and stimulate your bodies fat burning hormones to help you use fat for fuel!
These healthy fats are also great for your brain and will improve mental clarity and drive. Especially if you add in a touch of peppermint essential oil which provides a great flavor and rosmarinic acid which improves circulation and stimulates neurotransmitters involved with memory!

Dear me. Do NOT use two tbsp. of monk fruit!!! ROFL
Hey Jean, Yes, I definitely recommend customizing the sweetener amount to your taste!
Couldn’t you use raw Honey instead of Stevia?
Yes you can, but it will make this recipe much higher in carbs and sugar and no longer a keto, fat burning recipe!
The packaging of the peppermint oil says “not for internal use”???!!! Meaning, it should not be eaten??
Yes that is what they are required to say, however, from our experience, you can add some of these oils in small quantities to foods.
This recipe is INCREDIBLE! I added about 2 tsp. extra coconut milk to ensure it was more wet and 3 drops peppermint essential oil. Before refrigerating, I rolled the balls in raw sugar; each grain of sugar glistens with the house lights. What a beautiful presentation on a Christmas plate. Thank you, Thank you. Pat (Canada)
