No Bake Coconut Energy Bites
This is a lovely recipe that my amazing neighbour shared with me, which I have tweaked a little. The best way to describe the taste is a cross between coconut ice, a naked bounty bar or the flavouring of Raffaello chocolate. High praise for 4 ingredients, but it is really easy and delicious for the time it takes to blend together. The ingredients are healthy and are a good way to satisfy a sugar craving. I have an adapted recipe for vegans.
