Steps
To make these ricotta, coconut, and cocoa balls, you’ll really only need five minutes.
In a bowl, gather the ricotta previously drained in a sieve, then add the sifted powdered sugar.
Mix well with a fork until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
Continue by adding the sifted cocoa to the ricotta cream and mix to incorporate it perfectly.
Finally, add the grated coconut to the mixture and incorporate it into the cream. At this point, the mixture will have a moldable consistency, so take a small portion of dough at a time, roll it between your hands, then coat it in the coconut flour.
As the ricotta, coconut, and cocoa balls are ready, place them on a tray and transfer it to the fridge for a few hours or, in any case, until serving time 😉.
