- Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. If the mixture feels too wet, add almond flour for balance.

- Add the Garnish: Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut for a beautiful, snow-like finish.
- Chill and Set: Arrange the balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
