- seeds of one vanilla pod or ½ tsp powdered vanilla

Instructions
It’s such a walk in the park to make these. Pop all your ingredients into a blender, and when it’s all mixed together, spoon the mixture out and roll into little balls with slightly damp hands. Now roll around in the shredded coconut and pop them in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm up before you eat them.
Note
• Store in the fridge and you’ve got the perfect tangy treat. They keep for ages in the freezer too.
