A delightful twist on the classic Nigerian coconut balls, these treats are perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until a stiff dough forms.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the self-raising flour to coat.
Use slightly damp hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the balls are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the balls during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Allow the balls to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the balls firm up and prevents breaking.
Serve the Coconut Bliss Balls as a delightful snack or dessert.
Enjoy them with a warm beverage for a comforting treat.
