1 TBSP coconut oil or other light flavoured oil

1/2 tsp ginger dried

Desiccated coconut for rolling

Directions

Watch the quick recipe video before you get started, scroll up a little to find it

Check the notes at the bottom of the recipe for little bits of extra info and help

Place carrots in a sturdy food processor and blitz until very finely chopped

Add remaining ingredients, excluding the desiccated coconut and blitz until the mixture comes together into a large ball. This may take some time, 5 or so minutes of blitzing but be patient it will get there

Using a teaspoon form balls, the mixture will be quite sticky (because of the water content of the fresh carrot) , but the texture improves once you roll in coconut. If yu keep your hands damp it stops the mix sticking to your fingers, Get the kids involved they will love the mess

Roll the balls in desiccated coconut (You don't have to, I sometimes leave some coconut free)

Refrigerate
