- 1/4 cup almond flour
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine coconut cream, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to start forming the base of your coconut cream balls.
- Mix Thoroughly: Mix all ingredients until well blended, ensuring that the coconut cream and powdered sugar are fully incorporated with the shredded coconut.
