Instructions
-
Prepare the Carrots:
- Wash, peel, and finely grate the carrots.
-
Cook the Carrots:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the grated carrots and sugar.

-
Incorporate Yogurt:
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Stir in the white yogurt until well combined.
-
Add Coconut Flour:
- Gradually mix in the coconut flour until a dough-like consistency forms.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more coconut flour as needed.
-
Form the Balls:
- Take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
-
Coat with Coconut Flakes:
- Roll each ball in coconut flakes to evenly coat.
-
Decorate with Chocolate Granules:
- Sprinkle chocolate granules on top for a decorative finish.
-
Chill:
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Nutty Addition: Add finely chopped almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Spiced Flavor: Mix in cinnamon or cardamom for a warm, aromatic touch.
- Alternative Coatings: Roll in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or crushed nuts instead of coconut flakes.
