These balls are the lovechild of an orange creamsicle and a protein power bar. They also happen to be rich, creamy, coconutty, and vegan. With the proper choice of jam, they are poteintially fiber rich as well as sugar free! They're also super-easy to make. No baking or waiting required-just mix, roll, and presto! You have healthy creamsicle balls. If you have been following this blog, you may recognize the following dough mix as the same as the one from our
no-bake shortbread cookies. This time just go a bit heavier on the marmalade and vanilla, and there's no need to refrigerate the balls first.
You will need:
- Coconut butter
- Protein powder (I used unsweetened soy; I haven't tried others here)
- Orange marmalade (I used SF Polaner)
- Vanilla extract
- Melt the coconut butter in the microwave.
- Add protein powder and orange marmalade and stir into the melted coconut butter. Start with equal quantities of the three ingredients, and then keep adding protein powder until you get a thick dough.
- Add vanilla to taste.
- Roll into balls.
- Enjoy!
