Do we use unsweetened cocounut shavings or the sweetened kind for this? They look yummy!
While the assembling can be a bit messy, the outcome was worth it. I used a cookie scoop (similar to a small ice cream scoop) to assure the balls would be the same size. Then I placed 5-6 in the shredded coconut. I found that coconut didn’t stick just by rolling the balls of the date mixture around, while in the bowl. I needed to place a handful of coconut in the palm of my hand, then a date ball in the coconut mound. Then I rolled the ball around, in between my palms. The gentle pressure helped the coconut adhere.
